 | Kaavya Sengupta answered |
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

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

 | 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

 | 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.

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).

(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

| | 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.

| | 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.

The minimum energy requirement that must be met for a chemical reaction to occur is called the activation energy. The activation energy depends on nature of the reacting species or reactants. It does not depends on volume that is it will remain constant irrespective of the volume.
So, (A) remain unchanged -- is the correct option

I think the answer should be A. Although both plots I and II are correct, but if you go with the values then the straight line plot II doesn't agree with the activation energy and frequency factor values(verify it with y intercept = lnA and slope = -Ea/R).

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.

 | Neha Choudhury answered |
Answer:
From Law of mass action, we know Rate of reaction
R1=k[NO]^2[O2] where k is the rate constant.
When the volume of the vessel is doubled, the concentration of the reactants will be halved.
New rate R2= k(1/2[NO]^2)(1/2[O2}= 1/8(R1)
By doubling the volume, the rate of reaction will become 1/8th of the previous rate.

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.

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]

Given,

The general formula to find the units for rate constant, k=(mol L-1)1-ns-1 where n is the order of the reaction. The value of n must be 1 for (mol L-1)1-ns-1 to become s-1. Therefore, k=3.28 × 10-4s-1 represents a first order reaction.
