A certain reactant  Bn+ is getting converted to B(n+4)+  in solution. The rate constant of this reaction is measured by titrating a volume of the solution with a reducing reagent which only reacts with Bntand B(n+4)+. In this process, it converts Bn+ to B(n-2)+ and B(n+4)+ to B(n-1)+. At  t=0, the volume of the reagent consumed is 25 mL and at t=10 min, the volume used up is 32 mL. Calculate the rate constant of the conversion of Bnt to  B(n+4)+ assuming it to be a first order reaction.

Question Image

The kinetic study was performed by taking same amounts of cyclobutene in three sealed flasks. First flask was broken after 20 minute and the reaction mixture was absorbed completely in bromine solution. 16.0 mL1.0M bromine solution was required. The second flask was broken after a very long time and the reaction mixture required20 mL bromine solution of the same strength. If the third flask was broken after 30 minute, what volume of bromine solution of same strength would have been required?
