An acid-catalysed ester hydrolysis is followed by titration. The titres are 10.0 mL at t = 0, 20.0 mL at t = 20 min and 30.0 mL at infinite time. Assuming first-order kinetics (), which statements are correct?

  1. AThe rate constant is 0.0693
  2. BThe half-life is 20 min
  3. CThe titre at t = 60 min is 27.50 mL
  4. DThe titre at t = 40 min is 25.00 mL

Answer: B, C, D

falls from 20 to 10 mL in 20 min, so min and (not 0.0693). After 2 half-lives 20/4 remains: mL; after 3 half-lives mL.
