Reacting with water in an acidic solution at a particular temperature, compound A decomposes into compounds B and C according to the law of uninhibited decay. An initial amount of 0.50 M of compound A decomposes to 0.46 M in 30 minutes. How much of compound A will remain after 2 hours? How long will it take until 0.10 M of compound A remains? After 2 hours, the amount of compound A remaining will be M. (Do not round until the final answer. Then round to the nearest hundredth as needed.) There will be 0.10 M of compound A remaining in minutes. (Do not round until the final answer. Then round to the nearest tenth as needed.)
