Explanation / Answer

question 1

we will use the first order equation i.e., ln(No/N) = kt

No = 1.0 M

k = 1.8 x 10 -2 S-1

t = 186

putting in equation

ln [N]= -kt + ln [No]

ln [N]= 1.8 x 10 -2 x 186   In[1]

ln [N]= 3.348   In[1]

we could calculate N here

Question 2

answer C Higher/higher

Question 3

incorrect is the rate of most chaemical reactions change with time
