(A) For a first-order reaction, the rate constant $k$ is given by the formula:$k = \frac{1}{t} \ln\left(\frac{[A]_0}{[A]_t}ight)$At $t = 20 	ext{ min}$, $[A]_0 = 0.6500 	ext{ M}$ and $[A]_t = 0.00065 	ext{ M}$.$k = \frac{1}{20} \ln\left(\frac{0.6500}{0.00065}ight) = \frac{1}{20} \ln(1000) = \frac{1}{20} 	imes 6.908 = 0.3454 	ext{ min}^{-1}$.Now, for $t = x$, $[A]_t = 0.0650 	ext{ M}$.$k = \frac{1}{x} \ln\left(\frac{[A]_0}{[A]_t}ight)$$0.3454 = \frac{1}{x} \ln\left(\frac{0.6500}{0.0650}ight)$$0.3454 = \frac{1}{x} \ln(10)$$0.3454 = \frac{2.303}{x}$$x = \frac{2.303}{0.3454} \approx 6.67 	ext{ min}$.Rounding to the nearest integer, we get $x = 7 	ext{ min}$. However, looking at the options provided, there might be a discrepancy in the question data or options. If we consider the ratio of concentrations, $[A]_0/[A]_x = 10$ and $[A]_0/[A]_{20} = 1000 = 10^3$. Since the reaction is first order, the time taken for a concentration change of $10^n$ is proportional to $n$. Thus, if $20 	ext{ min}$ corresponds to $n=3$, then $x$ (for $n=1$) should be $20/3 \approx 6.67 	ext{ min}$. Given the options, $x = 7$ is the closest integer.

$t/\text{min}$	$[A]/M$
$0$	$0.6500$
$x$	$0.0650$
$20$	$0.00065$
