The state of matter with the slowest moving atoms is solid!
Answer:
It takes 1.32x10⁻⁷s for the concentration of A to fall by a factor of 8
Explanation:
The equation that represents a first-order kinetics is:
Ln ([A] / [A]₀] = -kt
<em>Where [A] is actual concentration, [A]₀ is initial concentration, K is rate constant (For the given problem, 1.57x10⁷s⁻¹ and t is time.</em>
<em />
As you want the time when you have [A] in a factor of 8 = [A] / [A]₀ = 1/8
Replacing:
Ln ([A] / [A]₀] = -kt
Ln (1/8) = -1.57x10⁷s⁻¹*t
t = 1.32x10⁻⁷s
<h3>It takes 1.32x10⁻⁷s for the concentration of A to fall by a factor of 8</h3>
