Identify the order of the reaction based on the units of the rate constant. Since the rate constant has units of M\(\u\)22121\(\u\)22c5s\(\u\)22121, this indicates a second-order reaction.
Write the integrated rate law for a second-order reaction: \(\frac{1}{[A]} = \frac{1}{[A]_0} + k t\), where \([A]_0\) is the initial concentration, \([A]\) is the concentration at time \(t\), and \(k\) is the rate constant.
Express the final concentration \([A]\) in terms of the initial concentration \([A]_0\) and the percentage decrease. Since [A] decreases by 85%, \([A] = 0.15 [A]_0\).
Substitute \([A] = 0.15 [A]_0\) into the integrated rate law and solve for time \(t\): \(t = \frac{1}{k} \left( \frac{1}{[A]} - \frac{1}{[A]_0} \right)\).
Plug in the known values for \(k\) and the ratio of concentrations to calculate the time \(t\) it takes for [A] to decrease by 85%.
