1. In the parallel reaction , rate constants k1 and k2 were determined to be 0.15 min^(−1) and 0.06 min^(−1), respectively. Determine the half-life for species A. Starting with the initial concentration of A at 0.10 mol.dm−3, calculate the time t at which [C] will be 0.05 mol.dm^(−3). Obtain the highest concentration of C attainable.
