Half-life time of a reaction is time at which reactant concentration becomes half of its initial value.

Half-life of the first order reaction is 20 min. Rate constant can be calculated as follows:

K=\frac{0.6932}{t_{1/2}}=\frac{0.6932}{20 min}=0.03466 min^{-1}

The rate expression for first order reaction is as follows:

k=\frac{2.303}{t}log\frac{A_{0}}{A_{t}}

initial number of molecules of reactant are 10^{20}, time is 100 min thus, putting the values to calculate number of reactant at time 100 min,

0.03466 min^{-1}=\frac{2.303}{100 min}log\frac{[10^{20}]}{A_{t}}

On rearranging,

\frac{10^{20}}{A_{t}}=31.988

Or,

A_{t}=3.13\times 10^{18}

Therefore, number of molecules unreacted will be 3.13\times 10^{18}

Molecular weight of AgBr = 187.7
moles of Ag = \frac{0.5555}{187.7} = 2.96 x 10^{-3}
moles of Br = moles of Ag = 2.96 x 10⁻³ mol
concentration of HBr (Molarity) = conc. of Br (strong acid) = \frac{2.96 x 10^{-3} }{45 x 10^{-3} } = 0.0658 mol/l
