3. There are two decomposition reactions yielding the products below. A B+C DE+F (1st order rxn at 325 C) (2nd order rxn at 325 C) Which reaction takes longer to decompose 90% of the initial reactant concentration if each starts with 1.0 M of its reactant at 325 C? Show by calculating the reaction time for each. Assume that rate constants of both reactions are numerically equal at given temperature. (15 p.) 3.
