Upon dissolving InCl(s) in HCl, In+(aq) undergoes a disproportionation reaction according to the following unbalanced equation:  In+(aq) = In(s) + In3+(aq) This disproportionation follows first-order kinetics with a half-life of 667 s. What is the concentration of  In+(aq) after 1.35 h if the initial solution of  In+(aq) was prepared by dissolving 2.38g InCl(s) in dilute HCl to make  5.0x10^2 mL of solution? What mass of  In(s) is formed after 1.35 h?

Question

Upon dissolving InCl(s) in HCl, In+(aq) undergoes a disproportionation reaction according to the following unbalanced equation: 

In+(aq) = In(s) + In3+(aq)

This disproportionation follows first-order kinetics with a half-life of 667 s.

What is the concentration of  In+(aq) after 1.35 h if the initial solution of  In+(aq) was prepared by dissolving 2.38g InCl(s) in dilute HCl to make  5.0x10^2 mL of solution? What mass of  In(s) is formed after 1.35 h?
