In a first order reaction,the concentration of the reactant decreases from $20 \ mmol$ to $10 \ mmol$ in $1.151 \ min$. What is the rate constant (in $min^{-1}$)?

The reaction $2N_2O_5 \,(g) \to 4NO_2 \,(g) + O_2 \,(g)$ follows first order kinetics. The pressure of a vessel containing only $N_2O_5$ was found to increase from $50 \, mmHg$ to $87.5 \, mmHg$ in $30 \, min$. The pressure exerted by the gases after $60 \, min$ will be .......... $mmHg$ (assume temperature remains constant).
