Question 5. A certain reaction has the following general form:

aA-> bB

At a particular temperature and [A], = 2.00 × 10-² M, concen-

tration versus time data were collected for this reaction, and a plot

of In[A] versus time resulted in a straight line with a slope value

of -2.97 x 10-2 min ¹.

a. Determine the rate law, the integrated rate law, and the value

of the rate constant for this reaction.

b. Calculate the half-life for this reaction.

c. How much time is required for the concentration of A to de-

crease to 2.50 × 10-³ M?
