Hydrolysis of methyl acetate in aqueous solution has been studied by titrating the liberated acetic acid against sodium hydroxide. The concentration of the ester at different times is given below:
Time $(t)$ $\text{min}$ $0$ $30$ $60$ $90$
Conc. of ester $(C)$ $\text{mol L}^{-1}$ $0.850$ $0.800$ $0.754$ $0.710$

Show that it follows a pseudo first-order reaction as the concentration of $H_2O$ remains nearly constant $(54.2 \text{ mol L}^{-1})$ during the course of the reaction. What is the value of $k'$ in this reaction?

Hydrolysis of $DDT$ is a first order reaction,its half-life is $10 \ years$. Time required to hydrolyse $10 \ g$ of $DDT$ to half is ......... $years$.

Consider the following reaction,the rate expression of which is given below:
$A + B \rightarrow C$
$\text{rate} = k[A]^{1/2}[B]^{1/2}$
The reaction is initiated by taking $1 \ M$ concentration of $A$ and $B$ each. If the rate constant $(k)$ is $4.6 \times 10^{-2} \ s^{-1}$,then the time taken for $A$ to become $0.1 \ M$ is . . . . . . . . . . $sec$. (nearest integer)

Half-life and rate constant for a first-order reaction are related by the equation:

The reaction $N_{2}O_{5} \longrightarrow 2NO_{2} + \frac{1}{2}O_{2}$ is first order in $N_{2}O_{5}$ having rate constant $6.2 \times 10^{-4} \ s^{-1}$. What is the value of rate of reaction when concentration of $N_{2}O_{5}$ is $1.25 \ mol \ L^{-1}$?
