Answer : The value of rate constant is, 0.0949\text{ min}^{-1}

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the rate constant, we use the formula :

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

k=\frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{a}{a-x}

where,

k = rate constant  = ?

t = time passed by the sample  = 20 min

a = let initial amount of the reactant  = 100 g

a - x = amount left after decay process = 100 - 85 = 15 g

Now put all the given values in above equation, we get

k=\frac{2.303}{20}\log\frac{100}{15}

k=0.0949\text{ min}^{-1}

Therefore, the value of rate constant is, 0.0949\text{ min}^{-1}
