The gas phase decomposition of dimethyl ...

The gas phase decomposition of dimethyl ether follows first order kinetics.
`CH_(3)-O-CH_(3)(g)rarrCH_(4)(g)+H_(2)(g)+CO(g)`
The reaction is carried out in a constant volume container at `500^(@)C` and has a half life of `14.5 min`. Initially, only dimethyl ether is present at a pressure `0.40 atm`. What is the total pressure of the system after `12min`? (Assume ideal gas behaviour)
