Using first order kinetics,
\text{First case: }\mathrm{k=\frac{2.303}{46.06} \log \frac{100}{100-50}=\frac{0.3010}{20} s^{-1}=0.015 s^{-1} }\mathrm{\text{Second case: }k=\frac{2.303}{168.2} \log \frac{100}{100-92}=0.015 \mathrm{~s}^{-1} }As both k are same, so the order of the reaction is first order
and \mathrm{k=1.5 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}}
