ln[A]=-kt+ln[A]0

The Attempt at a Solution


In this equation,is it necessary to have [A] to be the concentration?
If there is the mass provided only,can I just subsitute [A]=mass?

Sorry for my poor english

It is about concentration. However, for a constant volume (and taking into account molar mass is constant for a given substance) you can be able to factor them out into k constant. That is just a simple math.
