Question:

In the brewing of beer, ethanal, which smells like green apples, is an intermediate in the formation of ethanol. Ethanal decomposes in the following first-order reaction: CH3CHO(g) → CH4(g) + CO(g). At a certain temperature, the rate constant for the decomposition is 1.5 * 10–3 s1. What concentration of ethanal, which had an initial concentration of 0.100 mol · L1, remains 40.0 min after the start of its decomposition at this temperature?
