Question
Give examples of first order reaction.

Answer

→ Hydrogenation of ethene is an example of first order reaction.
$\begin{array}{l} C _2 H _4(g)+ H _2(g) \rightarrow C _2 H _6(g) \\ \text { Rate }= k \left[ C _2 H _4\right]\end{array}$
All natural and artificial radioactive decay of unstable nuclei take place by first order kinetics. $
\begin{array}{l}
{ }_{88}^{226} Ra \rightarrow{ }_2^4 He \ +\ { }_{86}^{222} Rn \\
\text { Rate }= k [ Ra ]
\end{array}
$
Decomposition of $N _2 O _5$ and $N _2 O$ are some more examples of first order reactions.

Two half cell reactions of an electrochemical cell are given below:

MnO4- (aq) + 8H+ (aq) + 5e → Mn2+ (aq) + 4H2O (l), Eo = + 1.51 V

Sn2+ (aq) → Sn4+ (aq) + 2e, Eo = + 0.15 V

Construct the redox equation from the two half cell reactions and predict if this reaction favours formation of reactants or product shown in the equation.
