Answer: The rate constant is
Explanation ;
Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

where,
k = rate constant = ?
t = age of sample = 4.26 min
a = initial amount of the reactant = 2.56 mg
a - x = amount left after decay process = 2.50 mg
Now put all the given values in above equation to calculate the rate constant ,we get



Thus rate constant is [tex]0.334s^{-1}
1kg is about 2.2 pounds. So 4kg = 8.8 pounds. If that represent 19% of the total, here is the answer.
0.19*x=8.8
x=8.8/0.19
x=46.31 pounds
<u>Answer:</u> The concentration of
comes out to be 0.16 M.
<u>Explanation:</u>
To calculate the concentration of acid, we use the equation given by neutralization reaction:

where,
are the n-factor, molarity and volume of acid which is 
are the n-factor, molarity and volume of base which is NaOH.
We are given:

Putting values in above equation, we get:

Hence, the concentration of
comes out to be 0.1862 M.
