Explanation / Answer

24 % of compound has decomposed means 76 % is still remain ing

So,

if [A]o = 100

[A] = 76

use integrated rate law for 1st order reaction

ln[[A]] = ln[[A]]o - k*t

ln(76) = ln(100) - k*71

4.33 = 4.61 - k*71

k*71 = 0.27

k = 3.865*10^-3 min-1

Given:

rate constant, k = 3.865*10^-3 min-1

use relation between rate constant and half life of 1st order reaction

t1/2 = (ln 2) / k = 0.693/(k)

= 0.693/(3.865*10^-3)

= 1.79*10^2 min

Answer: 1.79*10^2 min
