The rate constant for a first order reaction is $60 \text{ s}^{-1}$. How much time (in seconds) will it take to reduce the initial concentration of the reactant to its $1/16^{th}$ value?

If the rate constant of a reaction is $x \, sec^{-1}$,by what factor does the rate increase if the initial concentration of $A$ is tripled?

The half-life for radioactive decay of $^{14}C$ is $5730$ years. An archaeological artifact containing wood had only $80 \%$ of the $^{14}C$ found in a living tree. Estimate the age of the sample.

$A$ flask contains a mixture of compounds $A$ and $B.$ Both compounds decompose by first-order kinetics. The half-lives for $A$ and $B$ are $300 \ s$ and $180 \ s,$ respectively. If the concentrations of $A$ and $B$ are equal initially,the time required for the concentration of $A$ to be four times that of $B$ (in $s$): (Use $\ln 2 = 0.693$)

Consider the following first-order gas-phase reaction: $A_{(g)} \to B_{(g)} + C_{(g)}$. At time $t$,the total pressure is $p_t \ atm$. Derive the integrated rate equation for this reaction.

For the reaction $2N_2O_{5(g)} \rightarrow 4NO_{2(g)} + O_{2(g)}$,which is a first-order reaction with respect to $N_2O_5$,which of the following plots gives a straight line?
