- The initial concentration of the reactant in a tirst-order reaction A —» products is 0.64 rnol/L and the half-life is 30.0 s. Calculate the concentration of the reactant exactly 60 s after initiation of the reaction. How long would it take for the concentration of the reactant to drop to one-eighth its initial value? How long would it take for the concentration of the reactant to drop to 0.040 mol/L?arrow_forwardAs with any drug, aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) must remain in the bloodstream long enough to be effective. Assume that the removal of aspirin from the bloodstream into the urine is a lirst-order reaction, with a half-life of about 3 hours. The instructions on an aspirin bottle say to take 1 or 2 tablets every 4 hours. If a person takes 2 aspirin tablets, how much aspirin remains in the bloodstream when it is time for the second dose? (A standard tablet contains 325 mg of aspirin.)arrow_forwardThe reaction 2 NO(g) + 2 H2(g) N2(g) + 2 H2O(g) was studied at 904 C, and the data in the table were collected.
