Which of the following happens before a black hole comes into existence?

When using the scientist method, which step comes last?

The first-order reaction a→2b+c has rate constant 0.538 s−1. if the initial concentration of a is 0.867 mol l−1, what is the half-life of the reaction in seconds? remember to use correct significant figures in your answer (round your answer to the nearest hundredth). do not include units in your response.

Calculate the minimum energy required to remove one proton from the nucleus 126c. this is called the proton-removal energy. (hint: find the difference between the mass of a 126c nucleus and the mass of a proton plus the mass of the nucleus formed when a proton is removed from 126c.) express your answer with the appropriate units. emin e m i n = nothing nothing request answer part b how does the proton-removal energy for 126c compare to the binding energy per nucleon for 126c, calculated using eb=(zmh+nmn−azm)c2?
