Question

Decomposition of A is a first order reaction at $\mathrm{T}(\mathrm{K})$ and is given by $\mathrm{A}(\mathrm{g}) \longrightarrow \mathrm{B}(\mathrm{g})+\mathrm{C}(\mathrm{g})$. In a closed 1 L vessel, 1 bar $\mathrm{A}(\mathrm{g})$ is allowed to decompose at $\mathrm{T}(\mathrm{K})$. After 100 minutes, the total pressure was 1.5 bar. What is the rate constant $\left(\right.$ in $\left.\min ^{-1}\right)$ of the reaction ? $(\log 2=0.3)$
