Question
The rate constant for a first order reaction is 60 s−1. How much time will it take to reduce the initial concentration of the reactant to its `1/16`th value?

Solution
t = `2.303/k log_10 ([A]_0)/([A])`
= `2.303/60 log_10 ([A]_0)/(1/16 xx [A]_0)`
= 0.3838 log10 (16)
= 0.3838 × 1.2041
= 4.62 × 10−2 s
