The decomposition reaction of A to B is a first-order reaction with a half-life of 2.42×103 seconds: A → 2B If the initial concentration of A is 0.163 M, how many minutes will it take for the concentration of A to be 66.8% of the initial concentration?

Lab reagent, hypothesis test. a reference solution used as a lab reagent is purported to have a concentration of 5 mg/dl. six samples are taken from this solution and the following concentrations are recorded: (5.32, 4.88, 5.10, 4.73, 5.15, 4.75) mg/dl. these six measurements are assumed to be an srs of all possible measurements from solution. they are also assumed to have a standard deviation of 0.2, a normal distributin, and a mean concentration equal to the true concentration of the solution. carry out a significance test to determine whether these six measurements provide reliable evidence that the true concentration of the solution is actually not 5 mg/dl.
