Chapter 13, Problem 13.49QE
When formic acid is heated, it decomposes to hydrogen and carbon dioxide in a first-order decay.
HCOOH(g) → CO2(g) + H2(g)
At 550 °C, the half-life of formic acid is 24.5 minutes.
- (a) What is the rate constant, and what are its units?
- (b) How many seconds are needed for formic acid, initially 0.15 M, to decrease to 0.015 M?
