(a)

Rate of appearance of sucrose = - d[C12H22O11] / dt = - (0.808 - 1.002) / (60.0 - 0.0) = 0.00323 M/s

(b)

Rate of appearance of fructose = d[C6H12O6] / dt = (1.002 - 0.808) / (60.0 - 0.0) = 0.00323 M/s

(c)

k = (1 / t) * ln[A]/[A]t

k = (1 / 60.0) * ln[1.002 / 0.808]

k = 0.00359 min-1

(d)

0.00359 = (1 / t) * ln[1.002 / 0.212]

t = 432.6 min

(e)

Half life time = 0.693 / k = 0.693 / 0.00359 = 193 min
