Question

You are carrying out a reaction in the laboratory. You need to convert 1.00 mole of reactant X into products. This reaction shows first-order kinetics, and the reaction mixture has a constant volume of 1.00 L. At 1:00pm, you start the reaction at 25 degree C with 1.00 mole of reactant X. At 2:00pm, you find that 0.60 moles of reactant X remain. You immediately increase the temperature of the reaction mixture to 35 degree C. At 3:00pm, you discover that 0.20 moles of reactant X are still present. You want to be able to finish the reaction by 4:00pm, but you cannot stop the reaction until only 0.01 moles of reactant X remain. You must increase the temperature again. What is the minimum temperature required to complete the reaction by 4:00pm? (Remember, the reaction is complete when only 0.01 moles of X remain.)
