How many hours will it take for the concentration of methyl isonitrile to drop to 14.0 %% of its initial value?

This is an incomplete question, here is a complete question.

The rearrangement of methyl isonitrile (CH₃NC) to acetonitrile (CH₃NC) is a first-order reaction and has a rate constant of 5.11 × 10⁻⁵ s⁻¹ at 472 K. If the initial concentration of CH₃NC is 3.00 × 10⁻² M :

How many hours will it take for the concentration of methyl isonitrile to drop to 14.0 % of its initial value?

Answer : The time taken will be, 10.7 hours

Explanation :

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

where,

k = rate constant  =

t = time passed by the sample  = ?

a = let initial amount of the reactant  = 100

a - x = amount left after decay process = 14 % of 100 = 14

Now put all the given values in above equation, we get

Therefore, the time taken will be, 10.7 hours

answer : a model is often used to explain and make things easier to understand when any scientific topic needs to be demonstrated and explained.

as in this case where a scientist wants to use a model to present the results of his detailed scientific investigation. he should do it as it will him to make the audience understand the concept in a much better way. also, it can be changed according to new scientific understandings.

elements make up everything, and they combine to make compounds.

the answer is c
