Question:

When formic acid is heated, it decomposes to hydrogen and carbon dioxide in a first-order decay.(8)7H + (8) OD + (8)HOOOH

The rate of reaction is monitored by measuring the total pressure in the reaction container.Time (s) 0 50 100 150 200 250 300 P (torr) 220 324 379 408 423 431 435

Calculate the rate constant and half-life, in seconds, for the reaction. At the start of the reaction (time = 0), only formic acid is present.
