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.

[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
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

Geetika Shah answered |
Given unit of rate = mol L-1 s-1
General formula for unit of rate = mol n-1 Ln-1 s -1
On equating,
1-n = 1 ⇒ n = 0
n-1 = -1 ⇒ n = 0
General formula for unit of rate = mol n-1 Ln-1 s -1
On equating,
1-n = 1 ⇒ n = 0
n-1 = -1 ⇒ n = 0
Hence, it is a zero order reaction.

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.

r∞ = rotation at the end then (r∞ - r0) = a and (r∞ - rt) = (a - x)
When 50% inversion has taken place

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.
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.

Manoj Chauhan answered |
Arrhenius equation describes the effect of temperature on the rate constant of a chemical reaction. It is given by:
k = Ae^(-Ea/RT)
where k is the rate constant, A is the pre-exponential factor, Ea is the activation energy, R is the gas constant, and T is the temperature in Kelvin.
Explanation:
Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecules in a substance. When the temperature is increased, the molecules move faster and collide more frequently. This increases the chance of successful collisions between reactant molecules, leading to an increase in the reaction rate.
Arrhenius equation explains this relationship between temperature and reaction rate by stating that the rate constant (k) of a reaction increases exponentially with increasing temperature. The activation energy (Ea) is the minimum energy required for a reaction to occur, and it determines the rate at which the reaction proceeds.
The pre-exponential factor (A) takes into account the frequency of collisions between reactant molecules. It is a constant that depends on the nature of the reaction and the reactants involved.
The Arrhenius equation is widely used to describe the temperature dependence of chemical reactions in various fields, including chemistry, biology, and materials science.
Conclusion:
In summary, the Arrhenius equation is used to describe the effect of temperature on the rate constant of a chemical reaction. It explains that the rate constant increases exponentially with increasing temperature, due to an increase in the frequency and energy of collisions between reactant molecules.
k = Ae^(-Ea/RT)
where k is the rate constant, A is the pre-exponential factor, Ea is the activation energy, R is the gas constant, and T is the temperature in Kelvin.
Explanation:
Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecules in a substance. When the temperature is increased, the molecules move faster and collide more frequently. This increases the chance of successful collisions between reactant molecules, leading to an increase in the reaction rate.
Arrhenius equation explains this relationship between temperature and reaction rate by stating that the rate constant (k) of a reaction increases exponentially with increasing temperature. The activation energy (Ea) is the minimum energy required for a reaction to occur, and it determines the rate at which the reaction proceeds.
The pre-exponential factor (A) takes into account the frequency of collisions between reactant molecules. It is a constant that depends on the nature of the reaction and the reactants involved.
The Arrhenius equation is widely used to describe the temperature dependence of chemical reactions in various fields, including chemistry, biology, and materials science.
Conclusion:
In summary, the Arrhenius equation is used to describe the effect of temperature on the rate constant of a chemical reaction. It explains that the rate constant increases exponentially with increasing temperature, due to an increase in the frequency and energy of collisions between reactant molecules.

Ciel Knowledge answered |
The minimum energy that the colliding molecules must possess for the chemical reaction to occur is known as threshold energy.
The extra energy required by a reactant to participate in a reaction is called activation energy.

Vijay Bansal answered |
As the value of activation energy, Ea increases, the value of rate constant, k decreases.
So, k1 > k2 since E1 < E2

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.
The half life period of first order reaction is 15 min. Its rate constant will be equal to- a)0.0462 min-1
- b)0.462 min-1
- c)0.00462 min-1
- d)0.562 min-1

Ionic compounds in solution react faster than molecular compounds. This is because ionic compounds break apart to form free ions. Therefore, there are no bonds to break so the reaction is fast.

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.
