    Zero
  • d)

Aravind Rane answered
The overall order of a reaction is the sum of the individual orders of the reactants in the rate law. The rate law expresses the relationship between the rate of a chemical reaction and the concentrations of the reactants.

Given that the rate constant (k) is 3 x 10^-4 s^-1, we can determine the order of the reaction by analyzing the units of k.

We know that the overall order of a reaction is determined by adding the individual orders of the reactants. The order of a reactant is the exponent to which its concentration is raised in the rate law.

The units of k for a given reaction can be determined by analyzing the units of the rate law. In this case, we have:

k = rate / [reactant]^n

where n is the order of the reactant in the rate law.

The units of k are s^-1, which means that the units of rate must be in mol/L/s and the units of [reactant] must be in mol/L in order for the units to cancel out and leave only s^-1.

Since we are given only the value of k, we cannot directly determine the individual orders of the reactants. However, we can infer the overall order of the reaction based on the units of k.

Since k has units of s^-1, the units of rate must be mol/L/s. This means that the overall order of the reaction must be 1 (first order).

Therefore, the correct answer is option D: First.

hen x, y and z are 
  • a)
    1:1:1
  • b)
    3:2:3

For the reaction: xA + yB → zC

Given that,

Multiplying equation 2 by 1/3, we get

On comparing equation 1 and 3,
x = 3, y = 3, z = 2.

Can you explain the answer of this question below:

Consider the reaction, 2A + B → Products. When concentration of B alone was doubled, the half-life of B did not change. When the concentration of A alone was doubled, the rate increased by two times. The unit of rate constant for this reaction is –           [AIEEE 2007]

  • A:

    L mol–1 s–1

  • B:

    no unit

  • C:

    mol L–1s–1

  • D:

    s–1

The answer is A.

Imk Pathsala answered
The correct answer is Option A.
For first-order reaction, half-life t1/2 = 
Since half-life does not depend on the concentration of reactants.
 
According to the given data, the order of reaction with respect to B is one, hence, does not change half-life.
 
Similarly, an order of reaction with respect to A is also one since the rate increases twice on doubling the concentration.
Hence, total order = 1 + 1 = 2 
Second order reaction and its unit is Lmol−1s−1.

The rate equation for the reaction 2 A + B → C is found to be : rate = k [A] [B] . The correct statement in relation to this reaction is that the
[AIEEE-2004]
  • a)
    unit of k must be s–1
  • b)
    t1/2 is a constant
  • c)
    rate of formation of C is twice the rate of disappearance of A
  • d)
    value of k is independent of the initial concentrations of A and B
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Om Desai answered
The correct answer is Option D.
From the rate equation rate =k[A][B], we can say that the reaction is first order in A and first order in B. Hence, the overall order of the reaction is 2.
(A)The unit of k must be mol-1s-1
Hence, the statement A is incorrect.
(B) The half life period is not constant. It is inversely proportional to the concentration of reactants. Hence, the statement B is incorrect.
(C) The rate of formation of C is one half the rate of disappearance of A.
 d[C] / dt = −d[A] / 2dt
Hence, the statement C is incorrect.
(D) The value of k is independent of the initial concentration of A and B. Hence, the statement D is correct.

[A] = -kt + [A]0
Here, [A] = [A0]/2
[A]0/2 = -kt + [A]0
kt = [A]0 - [A]0/2

Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Divey Sethi answered
For the reaction, A+B⟶C+D, the  variation of the concentration of the products is given by the curve Y.
Initially, the product concentration is 0, then it gradually rises and reaches a maximum value. After that it remains constant. 
This behavior is represented by the curve Y.

In a first order reaction, the concentration of the reactant, decreases from 0.8 M to 0.4 M in 15
minutes. The time taken for the concentration to change from 0.1 M to 0.025 M is -           [AIEEE-2004]
  • a)
    30 minutes
  • b)
    15 minutes
  • c)
    7.5 minutes
  • d)
    60 minutes
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Om Desai answered
The correct answer is  Option A.
The concentration of the reactant decreases from 0.8M to 0.4M in 15 minutes, i.e. t1/2 = 15 minutes. Therefore, the concentration of the reactant will fall from 0.1M to 0.025M in two half lives. i.e.    2t1/2 = 2 × 15 = 30 minutes.

A chemical reaction [2A] + [2B] + [C] → product follows the rate equation : then order of reaction is -            [AIEEE-2002]

For a zero order reaction,
(T)half = Initial concentration/ 2× reaction constant
from this equation find out k.
also another formula for zero order reaction-

put the value of k , (A)t=0.25 and (A)o= 0.50
you will get the answer.

Effect of Temperature on Reaction Rate - Arrhenius Equation

The Arrhenius equation explains the effect of temperature on the reaction rate. It is a mathematical formula that relates the rate constant of a chemical reaction to the temperature and activation energy of the reaction.

The equation is given by:

k = A * e^(-Ea/RT)

Where,
k - rate constant
A - pre-exponential factor
Ea - activation energy
R - gas constant
T - temperature

Explanation of the Equation:

Pre-Exponential Factor (A): It is a constant that reflects the frequency at which reactant molecules collide with each other. A higher value of A means that more collisions occur, thus increasing the reaction rate.

Activation Energy (Ea): It is the minimum energy required to initiate a chemical reaction. A higher value of Ea means that more energy is required to initiate the reaction, thus decreasing the reaction rate.

Gas Constant (R): It is a constant that relates the energy of a system to its temperature.

Temperature (T): It is the measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecules in a system. As the temperature increases, the kinetic energy of the molecules increases, leading to more collisions and thus increasing the reaction rate.

Application of the Equation:

The Arrhenius equation is widely used in chemical kinetics to predict the effect of temperature on the reaction rate. It is also used to determine the activation energy of a reaction by measuring the rate constant at different temperatures.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, the Arrhenius equation is a useful tool to understand the effect of temperature on the reaction rate. It helps in predicting the rate of a chemical reaction at different temperatures and determining the activation energy of a reaction.

  • c)
    24 times
  • d)
    32 times
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Mohit Rajpoot answered
For every 10°C rise of temperature, the rate is doubled. Thus, the temperature coefficient of the reaction = 2
When temperature is increased by 50°, rate becomes
=2(50/10) = 25 times = 32 times

The unit of rate constant for a first order reaction is
  • a)
    Mol/L
  • b)
    Mol2 / L2 / S2
  • c)
    S-1
  • d)
    Mol/L/S
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Nikita Singh answered
The correct answer is Option C.
Let R be the rate of reaction.
For first order reaction,
R=K[A]1
⇒K=R[A]-1
Whereas, K and [A] are rate constant and initial concentration of reactant respectively.
Therefore,
Unit of rate constant =(mol L-1)1-nsec-1
For first order reaction, n=1
Unit of rate constant = sec-1
Hence the unit of rate constant for first order reaction is sec-1.

Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Nabanita Basu answered
Understanding the Reaction
The given reaction is:
4NH3 + 5O2 → 4NO + 6H2O
This reaction involves the disappearance of ammonia (NH3) and the appearance of the products NO and H2O.
Rate of Reaction
The rate of a chemical reaction can be expressed in terms of the rate of disappearance of reactants or the rate of appearance of products.
Stoichiometry of the Reaction
- According to the stoichiometry:
- 4 moles of NH3 produce 4 moles of NO and 6 moles of H2O.
- The coefficients in the balanced equation indicate the relative rates of disappearance and appearance.
Rate of Disappearance
- The rate of disappearance of NH3 is given by:
Rate = - (1/4) * d[NH3]/dt
- The rates for O2, NO, and H2O can be expressed similarly:
- O2: Rate = - (1/5) * d[O2]/dt
- NO: Rate = (1/4) * d[NO]/dt
- H2O: Rate = (1/6) * d[H2O]/dt
Comparison of Rates
To find the maximum rate of disappearance, we can compare the rates derived from the balanced equation:
- NH3: - (1/4) (for every 1 mole of disappearance)
- O2: - (1/5) (for every 1 mole of disappearance)
- NO: (1/4) (for every 1 mole of appearance)
- H2O: (1/6) (for every 1 mole of appearance)
The fractions reveal how many moles of each substance are involved in the reaction. The lower the denominator, the higher the rate of disappearance or appearance.
Conclusion
- Among the reactants and products, H2O has the highest coefficient when considering the rate of disappearance of NH3.
- Therefore, the maximum rate of disappearance is related to H2O's formation.
Thus, the correct answer is option 'C' (H2O).
