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 \( k \).
