The correct answer is: 165

ABReactantProduct

Since the reaction follows the first order kinetics and after 70 minutes the concentration of A was found to be half of its initial concentration. That means 70 minutes is the half life time for the reaction. And we know that for a first order reaction half life time is given as.

t12 = 0.693KK=0.693t12=0.69370×60 sec.

=69307×6×10-6 sec-1= 165 ×10-6 sec-1So, x = 165
