Answer: 243 hours
Explanation:
Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

where,
k = rate constant
t = age of sample
a = initial amount of the reactant = 
a - x = amount left after decay process = 
a) for completion of half life:
Half life is the amount of time taken by a radioactive material to decay to half of its original value.


b) for reducing the mass to 10.00 % of its original mass



The time taken to reach 10.00 % of its original mass is 243 hours
It would be two because there’s 1 Carbon and 2 oxygen
Answer:
The activation energy
Explanation:
The activation energy is the energy hump that lies between reactants and products. It is the energy barrier that reactants must cross before they are converted into products.
Based on the collision theory, only particles that possess the activation energy are able to collide in such a way that leads to reaction.
Collision of particles having an energy content less than the activation energy of the reaction merely leads to elastic collision between such particles.
