The decomposition of formic acid follows first-order kinetics. HCO2H(g) → CO2(g) + H2(g) The half-life for the reaction at 550°C is 24 seconds. How many seconds does it take for the formic acid concentration to decrease by 87.5%? (1) 4.6 seconds (2) 36 seconds (3) 48 seconds (4) 72 seconds (5) 96 seconds
