The rate constant of a reaction with respect to the reactant A is `6 min^(-1)`. If we start with [A] = `0.8 mol L^(-1)`, when would [A] reach the value of `0.08 mol^(-1)`?

Answer» For the first order reaction,
`t=2.303/k log a/(a-x)`
`a=0.8 mol L^(-1),(a-x)=0.008 mol L^(-1), k=6min^(-1)`
`t = (2.303)/(6min^(-1)) log (0.8 mol L^(-1))/(0.08 mol L^(-1)) = 2.303 / (6 min^(-1)) log 10 = 0.38 min`
