Order $=1, \mathrm{k}=1.15 	imes 10^{-3} \mathrm{~S}^{-1}, \mathrm{C}_1=10, \mathrm{C}_2=6$ $\begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow \mathrm{t}=\frac{2.303}{\mathrm{k}} \log \frac{\mathrm{C}_1}{\mathrm{C}_2}=\frac{2.303}{1.15 	imes 10^{-3}} \log \frac{10}{6} \ & =444.27 \cong 4.4 	imes 10^2 \ & 	ext { Thus, } x=4.4 \ & \end{aligned}$
