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.

It has been found that rate constant is nearly doubled for a chemical reaction with a rise in temperature by 10deg. We can explain the dependence of the rate of a chemical reaction on temperature by Arrhenius equation.

Tanuja Kapoor answered
[A] = -kt + [A]0
Here, [A] = [A0]/2
[A]0/2 = -kt + [A]0
kt = [A]0 - [A]0/2
t = [A]0/2k
t1/2 = [A]0/2k

  • d)
    X
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.

T.ttttt answered
Increasing the temperature increasesreaction rates because of the disproportionately large increase in the number of high energy collisions. It is only these collisions (possessing at least the activation energy for the reaction) which result in a reaction.

 A foreign substance that increase the speed of a chemical reaction is called
  • a)
    promotor

    catalyst
  • c)
    moderator
  • d)
    inhibitor

Nandini Patel answered
Catalyst: Substances which alter  the rate of a chemical reaction and themselves remain chemically and quantitatively unchanged  after the reaction are known as catalysts and the phenomenon is known as catalysis.

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.

  • d)
    Equal
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).

  • b)
    Mechanism of reaction
  • c)
    Factors which affects the rate of reaction
  • d)
    All of the mentioned

Om Desai answered
Reaction kinetics deals with the study of rate of reaction, their mechanism and the factors which affects the rate of reaction. It specifies all the general characteristics of a chemical reaction.

If a reaction proceeds with a uniform rate throughout, the reaction is
  • a)
    Third order
  • b)
    Second order
  • c)
    First order
  • d)
    Zero order
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Rohan Singh answered
A reaction with uniform rate means dC/dt is a constant, where C is the concentration of the reactant being consumed.

For an n-th order reaction,

dC/dt = kC^n

As dC/dt is independent of C

dC/dt = k C^0
Thus, n = 0, and the reaction is a zero order reaction.

. What will be the value of instantaneous rate of reaction from the graph?
16578_eq2(10)
  • a)
    rinst = 1/ Slope
  • b)
    rinst = Slope
  • c)
    rinst = – Slope
  • d)
    rinst = – 1/ Slope
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Preeti Iyer answered
If you make a graph of concentration of reactant vs time, the instantaneous reaction rate at a given time is the slope of the tangent line at that point in time. It is also the value of the rate law at a specific concentration (dA/dt is rate = k [A]).

For the first order reaction,

Q. The concentration of A changes from 0.1 M to 0.025 M in 40 min. The rate of the reaction when the concentration of A is 0.01 M is

  • b)
    3.47 x 10-4 M min-1
  • c)
    3.47 x 10-5 M min-1
  • d)
    1.73 x 10-6 M min-1
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Sanjana Bajaj answered
A first-order reaction is a type of chemical reaction where the rate of reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of one reactant. The rate equation for a first-order reaction can be written as follows:

rate = k[A]

Where:
- rate is the rate of reaction
- k is the rate constant
- [A] is the concentration of reactant A

This means that as the concentration of reactant A decreases, the rate of reaction also decreases. The half-life of a first-order reaction is constant, meaning that it takes the same amount of time for the concentration of reactant A to decrease by half, regardless of the initial concentration.

The rate equation for the reaction,
2A + B → C
is found to be, rate = k[A] [B]
Q. The correct statement in relation to this reaction is that the
  • a)
    unit of k must be s-1
  • b)
    t1/2 is constant
  • c)
    rate of formation of C is half of the rate of disappearance of A
  • d)
    value of k is independent of the initial concentration of A and 8
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Amar Jain answered
Rate = k (A)[B]
The given reaction is first order in A and first order is B.
Thus, total order = 2
(a) Unit of k = cone 1 - n time -1 = conc-1 time-1 Thus, (a) is false.
(b)  of second-order reaction, thus (b) is false. 
Thus, (c) is correct.

Thus, value of k is dependent on the concentration of A and B. Thus, (d) is false.

A first order reaction is 50% completed in 1.26 × 1014 s. How much time would it take for 100% completion?
  • a)
    1.26 × 1015 s
  • b)
    2.52 × 1014 s
  • c)
    2.52 × 1028 s
  • d)
     infinite
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Neha Chauhan answered
The time taken for half the reaction to complete, i.e., the time in which the concentration of a reactant is reduced to half of its original value is called half-life period of the reaction. But it is impossible to perform 100% of the reaction. Whole of the substance never reacts because in every half-life, 50% of the substance reacts. Hence, time taken for 100% completion of a reaction is infinite.
