Derive an expression for rate constant of first order reaction. Give an example for first
order reaction.​

Answer 1

Answer:

We have already encountered two examples of first-order reactions: the hydrolysis of aspirin and the reaction of t-butyl bromide with water to give t-butanol. Another reaction that exhibits apparent first-order kinetics is the hydrolysis of the anticancer drug cisplatin.

Answer 2

Any reaction is called a first order reaction if a change in concentration of just one reactant determines the rate of reaction.
