6 months
The drug follows first-order kinetics. Using the formula \(k=\frac{2.303}{t}\log \frac{[{A}_{0}]}{[A]}\) , we find \(k=0.1156\) month−1. The half-life is \({t}_{1\mathrm{/}2}=\frac{0.693}{k}=6\) months.
Correct answer: A (6 months).
The rate of a reaction quadruples when temperature changes from \(27^\circ C\) to \(57^\circ C\). Calculate the energy of activation.
