Question
1) A reagent used in organic synthesis, decomposes in acidic solution by following a first-order
kinetic, producing B and CO2(g).
A(aq) → B(aq) + CO2(g)
If the half-life of this decomposition reaction is 143.5 min,
(a) What is the time required for the 65% decomposition of A(aq)?
(b) How many liters of CO2(g), measured at 24.5 °C and 747 mmHg, are produced when 10.0 g
sample decomposes for 575 min? (A = 102.09 g/mol; R= 0.082 L atm/mol K).
