Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 114 minutes

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The half-life of a reaction is the time required for the reactant concentration to decrease to one-half its initial value. The half-life of a first-order reaction is a constant that is related to the rate constant for the reaction: t12 = 0.693/k. k=2.303tlogaa-x…
