For a first order reaction,the intercept of the graph between $\log \left(\frac{[A]_0}{[A]_t}\right)$ ($Y$-axis) and time ($X$-axis) is equal to

The slope of a graph $\log [A]_t$ versus '$t$' for a first-order reaction is $-2.5 \times 10^{-3} \,s^{-1}$. Find the rate constant of the reaction.

For a first-order reaction $A \rightarrow B$,the rate of reaction is $2.0 \times 10^{-5} \, mol \, L^{-1} \, s^{-1}$ when the concentration of the reactant is $0.01 \, M$. The half-life of the reaction is ........ seconds.

If the half-life $(t_{1/2})$ of a reaction is $69.3 \ s$ and the rate constant $(k)$ is $10^{-2} \ s^{-1}$,then the order of the reaction is:
