PART A
A certain first-order reaction (A→products) has a rate constant of 7.80×10^(-3) s^(-1) at 45 °C.
How many minutes does it take for the concentration of the reactant, [A], to drop to 6.25% of the original concentration?
Express your answer with the appropriate units.
PART B
A certain second-order reaction (B→products) has a rate constant of 1.80×10^(-3) M^(-1)⋅s^(-1) at 27 °C and an initial half-life of 300 s.
What is the concentration of the reactant B after one half-life?
Express your answer with the appropriate units.
