A. Is the reaction first order or second order with respect to [C12H22O11]?

B. What is the rate constant?

C. Using this rate constant, calculate the concentration of sucrose at 39, 80, 140, and 210 min if the initial sucrose concentration was 0.316 M and the reaction was first order in sucrose. Express your answers using two significant figures separated by commas.
