Decomposition of phosphine (PH(3)) at 12...

Decomposition of phosphine `(PH_(3))` at `120^(@)` C proceeds according to the equation
`4PH_(3)(g) to P_(4)(g) + 6H_(2)(g)`
It was found that the reactioin follows the rate equation, Rate = `k[PH_(3)]`
The half life period of `PH_(3)` is 37.9 s at `120^(@)`C.
i) How much time will be required for `3//4` of `PH_(3)` to decompose? ltrbgt ii) What function of the original amount of `PH_(3)` will remain undecomposed after 1 minute?
