For a first order reaction,to obtain a positive slope,we need to plot $...$ where $[A]$ is the concentration of reactant $A$.

The rate of a first-order reaction is $0.04 \ mol \ L^{-1} \ s^{-1}$ at $10 \ minutes$ and $0.03 \ mol \ L^{-1} \ s^{-1}$ at $20 \ minutes$ after initiation. The half-life of the reaction is . . . . . . minutes. (Given $\log 2 = 0.3010, \log 3 = 0.4771$)

The reaction $2A \rightarrow \text{Product}$ follows first-order kinetics. If the initial concentration $[A]_0 = 0.2 \ mol \ L^{-1}$ and the half-life period $t_{1/2} = 20 \ min$,calculate the rate constant $k$.
