The producers of an ecosystem make energy available to all the other living parts of an ecosystems. Consumers like humans eat the food that producers like plants made decomposers decompose dead plants and animals when they die like bacteria is a decomposer
The integrated rate law expression for a first order reaction is
![ln\frac{[A_{0}]}{[A_{t}]}=kt](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=ln%5Cfrac%7B%5BA_%7B0%7D%5D%7D%7B%5BA_%7Bt%7D%5D%7D%3Dkt)
where
[A0]=100
[At]=6.25
[6.25% of 100 = 6.25]
k = 9.60X10⁻³s⁻¹
Putting values

taking log of 100/6.25
100/6.25 = 16
ln(16) = 2.7726
Time = 2.7726 / 0.0096 = 288.81 seconds
