C_f=90.5%Cf=90.5%

Explanation:

Given 1st order reaction => ?% of original sample remains after 1 hour?

Use the 1st order decay equation C_f = C_oe^(-kt)Cf=Coekt
C_fCf= Final Concentration = ?
C_oCo= Initial Concentration = 100%
t=time t=time = 1 hour
k=0.693/t_(1/2)k=0.693t12 = (0.693)(1/(10min))((60min)/(hr)) = 4.158hr^(-1)
C_f = (100%)e^-[(4.158hr^-1)(1.00hr)]=1.56%Remaining
