Question

What is first order reaction? Give two examples of first order reaction.

Obtain an expression for the rate constant of a first order reaction.​

Answer 1

Answer:

First-order reactions are very common. 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.
