For Zero order reaction concentration of a reactant decreases linearly with time.
The integral form of zero order reactions can be rewritten as
[A]=–kt+[A0]
Comparing this equation with that of a straight line (y = mx + c), an [A] against t graph can be plotted to get a straight line with slope equal to ‘-k’ and intercept equal to [A]0 as shown below.

Correct Answer :- c
Explanation : A ----->k P
-d[A]/dt = k[A](0 to n)
-{[A]0 - [A]}/(t2 - t1) = k[A](0 to n)
{[A] - [A]0}/(t2 - t1) = k[A](0 to n)
[A]0 = concentration at t1
and [A] = concentration at t2
{[A] - [A]0}/(t2 - t1) = k[A](0 to n)
(0.1-0.08)/(2-1) = k[0.1]n
k[0.1]n = 0.02......(1)
(0.08-0.067)/(3-2) = k[0.08]n
k[0.08]n = 0.013.........(2)
Dividing (1) by (2)
k[0.1]n/k[0.08]n = 0.02/0.013
{[0.1]/[0.08]}n = 1.5385
[1.25]n = 1.5385
[1.25]n = (1.25)2
n = 2

Sneha Menon answered |
Given data:
Sucrose is converted to a mixture of glucose and fructose in a pseudo first order process.
Halflife of reaction = 28.4 min
Initial concentration of sucrose, [sucrose]₀ = 8.0 mM
Final concentration of sucrose, [sucrose] = 1.0 mM
To find: Time required for the reduction of a 8.0 mM sample of sucrose to 1.0 mM
Calculation:
The given reaction is a pseudo first order reaction, which means it can be represented as:
Rate = k [sucrose]
where k is the rate constant of the reaction.
The halflife of the reaction is given as 28.4 min. This means that the concentration of sucrose will reduce to half its initial value in 28.4 min. Therefore, we can use the following equation to find the rate constant:
t1/2 = ln 2 / k
Substituting the given value of halflife in the above equation, we get:
28.4 = ln 2 / k
k = ln 2 / 28.4
Now, we can use the rate constant to find the time required for the concentration of sucrose to reduce from 8.0 mM to 1.0 mM. We can use the following equation for a first order reaction:
ln [sucrose]₀ / [sucrose] = kt
Substituting the given values in the above equation, we get:
ln 8.0 / 1.0 = (ln 2 / 28.4) t
t = (28.4 / ln 2) ln 8.0 / 1.0
t = 85.2 min
Therefore, the time required for the reduction of a 8.0 mM sample of sucrose to 1.0 mM is 85.2 min. Hence, option (c) is the correct answer.
Sucrose is converted to a mixture of glucose and fructose in a pseudo first order process.
Halflife of reaction = 28.4 min
Initial concentration of sucrose, [sucrose]₀ = 8.0 mM
Final concentration of sucrose, [sucrose] = 1.0 mM
To find: Time required for the reduction of a 8.0 mM sample of sucrose to 1.0 mM
Calculation:
The given reaction is a pseudo first order reaction, which means it can be represented as:
Rate = k [sucrose]
where k is the rate constant of the reaction.
The halflife of the reaction is given as 28.4 min. This means that the concentration of sucrose will reduce to half its initial value in 28.4 min. Therefore, we can use the following equation to find the rate constant:
t1/2 = ln 2 / k
Substituting the given value of halflife in the above equation, we get:
28.4 = ln 2 / k
k = ln 2 / 28.4
Now, we can use the rate constant to find the time required for the concentration of sucrose to reduce from 8.0 mM to 1.0 mM. We can use the following equation for a first order reaction:
ln [sucrose]₀ / [sucrose] = kt
Substituting the given values in the above equation, we get:
ln 8.0 / 1.0 = (ln 2 / 28.4) t
t = (28.4 / ln 2) ln 8.0 / 1.0
t = 85.2 min
Therefore, the time required for the reduction of a 8.0 mM sample of sucrose to 1.0 mM is 85.2 min. Hence, option (c) is the correct answer.

Chirag Verma answered |
Correct Answer :- c
Explanation : A → P . For zero order reaction, rate= k. So, unit of k is
moles/sec.
- d[A]/dt = k
Upon integration between limits, [ A ] − [ A0 ] = − kt
At t1/2, [A]=[A0]/2.
Hence, t1/2 = [A0]/2k
Increased by 4 times, so it will become double

Arrhenius Parameters for Thermal Decomposition of NaCl
- The Arrhenius parameters for the thermal decomposition of NaCl, 2NOCl(g)2NO(g) CI2 are:
- A = 1013 M1s1
- E0 = 105 kJ mol1
- RT = 2.5 kJ mol1
Enthalpy of the Activated Complex
- The enthalpy (in kJ mol1) of the activated complex can be calculated using the Arrhenius equation:
k = Ae(-E0/RT)
- where k is the rate constant, A is the pre-exponential factor, E0 is the activation energy, R is the gas constant (8.314 J K-1 mol-1), and T is the temperature in Kelvin.
- Taking the natural logarithm of both sides of the equation, we get:
ln(k) = ln(A) - (E0/RT)
- Rearranging the equation, we get:
(E0/RT) = ln(A/k) + ln(k)
- Substituting the given values, we get:
(E0/RT) = ln(1013 M1s1/2) + ln(2.5 kJ mol1)
- Simplifying the equation, we get:
(E0/RT) = 20.83 + 1.10
- Therefore, the enthalpy (in kJ mol1) of the activated complex is:
(E0/RT) = 21.93 kJ mol1
- Rounded to the nearest whole number, the answer is:
(E0/RT) = 22 kJ mol1
- Therefore, the correct answer is option 'D' (100 kJ mol1).

Edurev.iitjam answered |
Since it is an elementary reaction, its rate law r1 = k [A] 3[B]
When the concentrations are changed the new rate will be r2 = k (2[A])3([B]/2) = 4k[A]3[B]
So, r2 = 4r1.
When the concentrations are changed the new rate will be r2 = k (2[A])3([B]/2) = 4k[A]3[B]
So, r2 = 4r1.

For 10^o rise in temperature, n = 1
so rate = 2^n = 2^1 = 2
When temperature is increased from 10^o C to 100^o C change in temperature = 100 -10 = 90^oC i.e n=9 so, rate = 29 = 512 times.
Alternate method: With every 10^o C rise in temperature, rate becomes double, so
r^r/r = 2 (100 - 10 /10) = 2^9 = 512 times

Anisha Pillai answered |
We cannot determine the values of k1 and k2 based on the given information.
However, we can make some observations based on the fact that species B has a transient existence.
In a consecutive first order reaction, the reaction mechanism involves a series of consecutive steps, each with its own rate constant. Species B is likely an intermediate that is formed in the first step and consumed in the second step.
If species B has a very short lifespan, it means that the second step is much faster than the first step. This implies that k2 is much larger than k1.
We can also say that the concentration of species B at any given time is proportional to k1/k2. This is because the rate of formation of B is proportional to k1[A], while the rate of consumption of B is proportional to k2[B]. At equilibrium, the rate of formation of B equals the rate of consumption of B, so k1[A] = k2[B]. Solving for [B] gives [B] = k1/k2 [A].
In summary, we cannot determine the values of k1 and k2, but we can say that k2 is much larger than k1 and that the concentration of species B is proportional to k1/k2.

The flexible nature of enzymes was not dealt by lock and key model, but the induced fit model. This model dealt with change in shape after enzyme substrate interaction. The following assumptions were made in rapid equilibrium model:
* The substrate concentration will always be higher than enzyme concentration. [E] >> [S]
* An equilibrium state is assumed between reactants and products. [E]+[S]⇌[ES]
* It is the initial substrate concentration [So] that determines the efficacy of an enzyme to mediate a reaction.
* The substrate concentration will always be higher than enzyme concentration. [E] >> [S]
* An equilibrium state is assumed between reactants and products. [E]+[S]⇌[ES]
* It is the initial substrate concentration [So] that determines the efficacy of an enzyme to mediate a reaction.

Acid hydrolysis of ester, CH3COOC2H5 + H2O → CH3COOH + C2H5OH
The order of the reaction may be altered sometimes by taking reactant in excess compared to the other.
The rate law R= k [CH3COOC2H5] [H2O] however water is present in excess.
So, R= k [CH3COOC2H5].

Concept:
The relationship between reaction rate and temperature:
- According to Arrhenius, the molecules in a reaction must possess a certain amount of energy in order to undergo a chemical reaction.
- This means that before the reaction occurs, the energy of the molecules must be raised in order to bring any transformation.
- This energy-rich state is called the activated state of the molecules.
- The extra energy required to attain this minimum energy has to be supplied externally and is known as the activation energy
- Reactions with low requirements of activation energy have faster rates.
- The higher the activation energy, the slower is the reaction rate.
- The relation between activation energy and temperature and the rate of reaction is given by the Arrhenius equation:
The half–line of a order reaction varies with temperature according to:- a) In t1/2α1 / T

k = ln2/t1/2 ----(i)
k = Ae(-Ea/RT) ------(ii)
Taking ln on both sides
lnk = ln((ln2)/ t1/2)
lnk = lnA + (-Ea/R) x 1/T
Hence comparing the two equations, we get:
-ln(t1/2) α 1/T
Therefore A is the correct answer.

Ishani Dasgupta answered |
Given:
- Rate of the first-order reaction = 0.023 min-1
- We need to find the time taken to complete 75 percent of the reaction
Formula:
The integrated rate law for a first-order reaction is given by the equation:
ln([A]t/[A]0) = -kt
Where:
[A]t is the concentration of reactant at time t
[A]0 is the initial concentration of reactant
k is the rate constant
t is the time
Explanation:
To find the time taken to complete 75 percent of the reaction, we need to find the time at which the concentration of the reactant is reduced to 25 percent of its initial concentration.
Let's assume the initial concentration of the reactant is 100 units (for simplicity).
Step 1: Calculate the half-life of the reaction
The half-life (t1/2) of a first-order reaction can be calculated using the equation:
t1/2 = (0.693/k)
Given that k = 0.023 min-1, we can substitute this value into the equation to find the half-life:
t1/2 = (0.693/0.023) = 30.13 minutes
The half-life represents the time it takes for the concentration of the reactant to reduce to half its initial value.
Step 2: Calculate the time taken to reach 25 percent of the initial concentration
Since the half-life is 30.13 minutes, it represents the time taken to reach 50 percent of the initial concentration. We need to find the time taken to reach 25 percent.
To do this, we can multiply the half-life by the natural logarithm of 2 (ln(2)) and divide it by ln(4) to find the time taken to reach 25 percent.
t25% = (t1/2 * ln(2))/ln(4)
t25% = (30.13 * 0.693)/1.386
t25% ≈ 15.07 minutes
Step 3: Calculate the time taken to complete 75 percent of the reaction
Since we are looking for the time taken to complete 75 percent of the reaction, we can subtract the time taken to reach 25 percent from the total time taken to complete the reaction.
t75% = total reaction time - t25%
t75% = 30.13 - 15.07
t75% ≈ 15.06 minutes
Therefore, the time taken to complete 75 percent of the reaction is approximately 15.06 minutes.
Conclusion:
The correct answer is option A) 15.06 minutes.

Since we are looking for the time taken to complete 75 percent of the reaction, we can subtract the time taken to reach 25 percent from the total time taken to complete the reaction.
t75% = total reaction time - t25%
t75% = 30.13 - 15.07
t75% ≈ 15.06 minutes
Therefore, the time taken to complete 75 percent of the reaction is approximately 15.06 minutes.

The half-life of a reaction is the time required for the reactant concentration to decrease to one-half its initial value. The half-life of a first-order reaction is a constant that is related to the rate constant for the reaction: t1/2 = 0.693/k. Radioactive decay reactions are first-order reactions.

Calculation of time taken for the completion of a zero-order reaction:
Explanation:
A zero-order reaction is a reaction where the rate of the reaction is independent of the concentration of the reactant. In this type of reaction, the rate constant (k) remains constant throughout the reaction. The formula to calculate the time taken for the completion of a zero-order reaction is:
t100% = [A]0/k
Where:
t100% = time taken for the completion of the reaction
[A]0 = initial concentration of the reactant
k = rate constant of the reaction
Therefore, option 'A' is the correct formula to calculate the time taken for the completion of a zero-order reaction.
