! (plz give proper explanation)
2)
Acetoacetic acid, CH3COCH2COOH, a reagent used in organic synthesis, decomposes in acidic
solution, producing acetone and CO2(g).
CH3COCH2COOH(aq)
CH3COCH3(aq) + CO2(g)
This first-order decomposition has a half-life of 144 minutes.
(a) How long will it take for a sample of acetoacetic acid to be 65% decomposed?
b) How many liters of CO2(g), measured at 24.5°C and 748 Torr, are produced as a 10.0 g sample of
CH3COCH2COOH decomposes for 575 min? [Ignore the aqueous solubility of CO2(g).]
