ANSWER:
Step 1 of 4
We are given a first order reaction
First order reactions are those where rate constant depends only on the concentration of one reactant.
X molecules
a) We need to find the relative rate of the reaction in each containers
b) How would be the relative rates affected if the volume of each container were doubled
c) relative half life
