Question
A reaction is known to follow first-order kinetics and has a rate constant of \( (6.3700 \times 10^{-2}) \, \text{min}^{-1} \). If the initial concentration of the only reactant is \( (1.0200 \times 10^{0}) \, \text{M} \), what will be the concentration after \( (5.89 \times 10^{1}) \) minutes?

**Enter your answer in scientific notation with 3 sig figs. Do not include any units in your answer.**

**Do not round any intermediate calculations.**

**Note:** Your answer is assumed to be reduced to the highest power possible.
