Question:

Compounds A and B both decompose by first-order reactions.
At 398 K, the rate constant for the decomposition of A is 3.6 * 10–5 s–1. Separate containers of A and B were prepared, with initial concentrations of 0.120 (mol A) · L–1 and 0.240 (mol B) · L–1. After 5.0 h, it was found that the concentration of A was 3.0 times the concentration of B. 

(a) What was the concentration of A at that time?

(b) What is the rate constant for the decomposition of B at 398 K?
