Acetoacetic acid, CH3COCH2COOH, decompoes in aqueous acididc solution to form acetone and carbon dioxide:
CH3COCH2COOH(aq) --> CH3COCH2(aq) + CO2(g)
The reaction is first order. At room temperature, the half life of the reactant is 139 min.
a. What is the constant of the decomposition reaction?
b. If the initial concentration of the acetoacetic acid is 2.75 M, what is the concentration after 5 hours?
