Enrofloxacin is a drug used for dogs and cats to combat bacterial infections.A dog was given an intramuscular injection of enrofloxacin, and just after the injection, the initial concentration of the drug in the dog’s blood was 5.8Í10–6 M. If the enrofloxacin disappears in a first-order process with a half-life of 4.6 hours, how many hours will it take for the enrofloxacin concentration of drop to one-eighth (1/8th) of the initial concentration (i.e., 0.125[A]0)?

Give the characteristic of a first order reaction having only one reactant. The rate of the reaction is not proportional to the concentration of the reactant. The rate of the reaction is proportional to the square of the concentration of the reactant. The rate of the reaction is proportional to the square root of the concentration of the reactant. The rate of the reaction is proportional to the natural logarithm of the concentration of the reactant. The rate of the reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of the reactant.
