273) When ethyl acetate was hydrolysed in presence of 0.1 N HCl, the rate constant was found to be 5.40 x 10⁻⁵ sec⁻¹. But when 0.1 N H₂SO₄ was used for hydrolysis, the rate constant was found to be 6.25 x 10⁻⁵sec⁻¹. Thus it may conclude that:

274) The rate constant for a second order reaction is 8 x 10⁻⁵M⁻¹sec⁻¹. How long will it take for a 1M solution to be reduced to 0.5M?

275) Calculate the order of reaction for which rate becomes half if the volume of container having same amount of reactant is doubled: (assume gaseous phase reaction)

276) A first order reaction takes 69.3 minutes for 50% completion. How much time will be needed for 80% completion?

277) For the non equilibrium process, A + B → products, the rate is first order with respect to A and second order with respect to B. If 1.0 mol of each of A and B are introduced into a 1 litre vessel, and the initial rate were 1.0 x 10⁻² mol⁄litre sec, calculate the rate when half of the reactants have been used:
