Expert Solution
Step 1: List the Given Data

The rate constant is straight k equals 9.05 cross times 10 to the power of negative 4 end exponent space straight s to the power of negative 1 end exponent.

The percentage of decomposition is 14.5%. It means the initial amount is 100 and the final amount is 14.5.

To find the time required to decompose.
