Question 1

A chemical reaction's rate $$R (in $$mol/L·s) is modeled by the exponential function $$R(t) = 5e$$^{-0.3t}$$, where t$ is time in seconds. What is the rate after 10 seconds, rounded to two decimal places?

Accepted Answer

$$R(10) = 5e$$^{-0.3 	imes 10}$$ = 5e$$^{-3}$$ \approx 0.25$$

Question 2
