$A \rightarrow P$ is a first order reaction. At $300 \ K$,this reaction was started with $[A] = 0.5 \ mol \ L^{-1}$. The rate constant of the reaction was $0.125 \ min^{-1}$. The same reaction was started separately with $[A] = 1 \ mol \ L^{-1}$ at $300 \ K$. The rate constant (in $min^{-1}$) now is:

Find the time period of a $1^{st}$ order reaction when the reaction is $\frac{2}{3} ^{rd}$ complete. If the value of the rate constant is $4.3 \times 10^{-4} \, s^{-1}$.

The reaction $2A \rightarrow \text{Product}$ follows first-order kinetics. If the initial concentration $[A]_0 = 0.2 \ mol \ L^{-1}$ and the half-life period $t_{1/2} = 20 \ min$,calculate the rate constant $k$.
