Question

At a certain temperature this reaction follows first-order kinetics with a rate constant of 2.69 s^-1 : 2SO3 (g) ? 2SO2 (g) + O2 (g) Suppose a vessel contains SO3 at a concentration of 1.39 M. Calculate how long it takes for the concentration of SO3 to decrease to 14.0% of its initial value. You may assume no other reaction is important. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.
