    Answer is: 284 min.

    t₁ = 42 min = 2520 s.

    t₂ = ?

    c₁ = 0,45 mol/L.

    c₂ = 0,32 mol/L.

    The integrated first order rate law is:

    ln (c₂/c₁) = - k·t.

    ln (0,32 mol/L : 0,45 mol/L) = - k·2520 s.

    k = 0,34 : 2520 s.

    k = 0,000135 1/s.

    For 90%: ln (0,045 mol/L : 0,45 mol/L) = - 0,000135 1/s · t.

    t = 2,30 : 0,000135 1/s.

    t = 17056 s = 284 min.
