The rate equation for a first-$order$ reaction is given by $R = R_0 e^{-kt}$. $A$ straight line with positive slope is obtained by plotting which of the following? ($R_0 =$ Initial concentration of the reactant,$R =$ concentration of the reactant at time $t$)

Drug $X$ becomes ineffective after $50 \%$ decomposition. The original concentration of drug in a bottle was $16 \ mg/mL$ which becomes $4 \ mg/mL$ in $12 \ months$. The expiry time of the drug in months is $..........$ Assume that the decomposition of the drug follows first order kinetics.

Time required to decompose $SO_2Cl_2$ to half of its initial amount is $60 \ min$. If the decomposition is a first order reaction,calculate the rate constant of the reaction. (in $min^{-1}$)

Which one of the following formulas represents a first-order reaction?

When methyl acetate is hydrolyzed in $0.05 \, M$ $HCl$,the reaction occurs as follows: $CH_3COOCH_3 + H_2O \rightarrow CH_3COOH + CH_3OH$. $A$ $25 \, mL$ sample of the reaction mixture is taken at different time intervals,added to ice to stop the reaction,and then titrated with $0.05 \, M$ $NaOH$ solution. Prove that the reaction is first order using the data provided below:

Time (minute)	$0$	$20$	$75$	$120$	$\infty$
Volume of $0.05 \, M$ $NaOH$ ($V_t$ in $mL$)	$24.40$	$25.82$	$29.35$	$31.75$	$47.50$

If $60\%$ of a first order reaction was completed in $60 \ min$,$50\%$ of the same reaction would be completed in approximately $.......... \ min.$
