a.)  A first-order reaction has a half-life of 25.3 s. How long does it take for the concentration of the reactant in the reaction to fall to one-eighth of its initial value? Express the time to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.

and then part b is attached.. thank you, I hope someone can help me

Consider the following multistep reaction:
C + D = CD (fast)
CD + D →CD2 (slow)
CD2D→CD3 (fast)
C+ 3D →CD3 (overall)
Based on this mechanism, determine the rate law for the overall reaction.
