For a first-order reaction $A \rightarrow \text{product}$, the rate constant is $k = 2 \times 10^{-2} \text{ s}^{-1}$. If the initial concentration of $A$ is $[A]_0 = 1.0 \text{ mol dm}^{-3}$, find the value of $\log \frac{1}{[A]_t}$ after $t = 100 \text{ s}$.

Initial concentration of reactant in a first order reaction is $0.08 \text{ mol dm}^{-3}$. What concentration would remain after $40 \text{ minutes}$? (Given $\frac{[A]_0}{[A]_t} = 5.00$)

The decomposition reaction $2N_2O_{5(g)} \xrightarrow{\Delta} 2N_2O_{4(g)} + O_{2(g)}$ is started in a closed cylinder under isothermal isochoric conditions at an initial pressure of $1 \ atm$. After $Y \times 10^3 \ s$,the pressure inside the cylinder is found to be $1.45 \ atm$. If the rate constant of the reaction is $5 \times 10^{-4} \ s^{-1}$,assuming ideal gas behavior,the value of $Y$ is. . . . . . . .

For a first order reaction,show that the time required for $99 \%$ completion is twice the time required for the completion of $90 \%$ of the reaction.
