An organic compound undergoes first-order decomposition. The time taken for its decomposition to 1/8 and 1/10 of its initial concentration are t1/8 and t1/10 respectively. The value of [t1/8][t1/10]×10 is ______ (take log102=0.3)

Solution
t=2.303klog(aa−x)
For decomposition to 1/8 of its initial concentration t1/8=2.303klog(11/8)=2.08k
For decomposition to 1/10 of its initial concentration
