4.8 In a pseudo first order reaction in water, the following results were obtained:

4g

(i) Calculate the average rate of reaction between the time interval 30 to 60 seconds.

(ii) Calculate the pseudo first order rate constant for the hydrolysis of ester.

NEETprep Answer:

(i) Average rate of reaction between the time interval, 30 to 60 seconds, 

=0.31-0.1760-30
0.1430
=4.67 ×10-3mol L-1s-1

(ii) For a pseudo first order reaction,

K=2.3.3tlog RR

for                K1=2.30.30log0.550.31   t=30 s,
=1.311×10-2s-1
K2=2.30360log0.550.17
=1.957 ×10-2s-1
 K3=2.30390log0.550.085
For t = 60 s,
=1.957 ×10-2s-1
 K=K1+K2K33
=1.98 ×10-2s-1
