The thermal decomposition of HCOOH is a first-order reaction with a rate constant of 2.4×10^−3 s^−1 at certain temperature. Calculate how long will it take for three-fourths of the initial quantity of HCOOH to decompose?

Rate constant k varies with temperature as given by equation log k (min^−1) = 5 − 2000/T Consider the following about this equation
