Calculation of rate constant :

For a first order reaction rate constant , k = ( 2.303 /t )x log ( Mo / M)

Where

Mo = initial concentration = 0.400 M

M = concentration after time t = 0.250 M

t = time = 15 min

k = rate constant = ?

Plug the values we get k = ( 2.303 /15 )x log (0.400 / 0.250)

                                     = 0.0313 min-1

Now calculation of concentration of A after 175 min :

For a first order reaction rate constant , k = ( 2.303 /t )x log ( Mo / M)

Where

Mo = initial concentration = 0.400 M

M = concentration after time t = ?

t = time = 175 min

k = rate constant = 0.0313 min-1

Plug the values we get log ( Mo / M) = (kt) / 2.303

                                                      = ( 0.0313 x175) / 2.303

                                                      = 2.38

                                          Mo / M = 102.38

                                                     = 240.65

                                                 M = Mo / 240.65

                                                     = 0.400 / 240.65

                                                     = 1.66x10-3 M

Therefore the concentration of [A] after 175 min is 1.66x10-3 M
