A certain radioactive material is known ...

A certain radioactive material is known to decay at a rate proportional to the amount present. Initially there is `50 kg` of the material present and after `2h` it is observed that the material has lost `10%` of its original mass. Based on these data answer the following questions.
The time at which the material has decayed to one half of its initial mass is

The integrated rate equations can be fitted with kinetic data to determine the order of a reaction. The integrated rate equations for zero, first and second order reactions are : Zero order : [Al =-kt+ [A]_0 First order : log [A] = -(kt)/2.303 + log [A]_0 Second order : 1/([A])=kt+1/[A]_0 These equations can also be used to calculate the halt life periods of different reactions, which give the time during which the concentration of a reactant is reduced to half of its initial concentration, i.e, at time t_(1//2), [A] = [A]_0//2 Answer the following (1 to 5) question : For a second order reaction, rate at a particular time is x. if the initial concentration is tripled, the rate will become
