Question
![**Problem Statement:**
A reactant decomposes with a half-life of 14.9 s when its initial concentration is 0.184 M. When the initial concentration is 0.960 M, this same reactant decomposes with a half-life of 77.7 s.
**Questions:**
1. What is the order of the reaction?
- 0
- 1
- 2
2. What is the value and unit of the rate constant for this reaction?
- \( k = \) [Text Box for Input]
- Unit: [Dropdown for Unit Selection]
**Explanation:**
This exercise involves determining the reaction order and rate constant based on provided half-life and concentration data. The change in half-life with changing concentration suggests the reaction order. By comparing the half-lives at different concentrations, the order affecting the decomposition rate can be determined, leading to calculations for the rate constant \( k \).](https://content.bartleby.com/qna-images/question/ba6b20c3-fc3b-431b-838d-7e0f9d5cfa41/19ca88db-4490-49e0-8287-90494b59283a/4igl1kr_thumbnail.png)
