97. The desorption (leaving of the surface) of a single molecular layer of n-butane from a single crystal of aluminum oxide is found to be first order with a rate constant of 0.128/s at 150 K. a. What is the half-life of the desorption reaction? b. If the surface is initially completely covered with n-butane at 150 K, how long will it take for 25% of the molecules to desorb (leave the surface)? For 50% to desorb? c. If the surface is initially completely covered, what fraction will remain covered after 10 s? After 20 s?
