Question:

The decomposition of gaseous dimethyl ether at ordinary pressures is first-order. Its half-life is 25.0 minutes at 500°C:CH3OCH3(g)  CH4(g) + CO(g) + H(g)

(a) Starting with 8.00 g of dimethyl ether, what mass remains (in grams) after 125 minutes and after 145 minutes?
(b) Calculate the time in minutes required to decrease 7.60ng (nanograms) to 2.25 ng.
(c) What fraction of the original dimethyl ether remains after 150 minutes?
