conversion between mass and moles#
<em> </em>
<em>A substance's molar mass is calculated by multiplying its relative atomic mass by the molar mass constant (1 g/mol). The molar mass constant can be used to convert mass to moles. By multiplying a given mass by the molar mass, the amount of moles of the substance can be calculated.</em>

The alkali metals are so reactive that they are never found in nature in elemental form. Although some of their ores are abundant, isolating them from their ores is somewhat difficult. For these reasons, the group 1 elements were unknown until the early 19th century, when Sir Humphry Davy first prepared sodium (Na) and potassium (K) by passing an electric current through molten alkalis. (The ashes produced by the combustion of wood are largely composed of potassium and sodium carbonate.) Lithium (Li) was discovered 10 years later when the Swedish chemist Johan Arfwedson was studying the composition of a new Brazilian mineral. Cesium (Cs) and rubidium (Rb) were not discovered until the 1860s, when Robert Bunsen conducted a systematic search for new elements. Known to chemistry students as the inventor of the Bunsen burner, Bunsen’s spectroscopic studies of ores showed sky blue and deep red emission lines that he attributed to two new elements, Cs and Rb, respectively. Francium (Fr) is found in only trace amounts in nature, so our knowledge of its chemistry is limited. All the isotopes of Fr have very short half-lives, in contrast to the other elements in group 1.
True. Covalent bonds involve sharing electrons to create a full valence shell.
<u>Answer:</u> The half life of the reaction is 1190.7 seconds
<u>Explanation:</u>
The equation used to calculate rate constant from given half life for first order kinetics:
where,
k = rate constant of the reaction = 
= half life of the reaction = ?
Putting values in above equation, we get:
Hence, the half life of the reaction is 1190.7 seconds
I am pretty sure it is 4.002602
