The activation energy of a reaction is zero. The rate constant of the reaction is :
K = Ae-Ea/RT
K= Ae0/RT
K = A= const.
The rate constant of a first order reaction is 10-3 min-1 at 27°C. The temperature coefficient of this reaction is 2. The rate constant at 17°C will be :
KT1/KT2 =T/10= 10-3/KT1=10/10 = 2
KT1 = 10-3/2 = 0.5 x 10-3 =5x 10-4 min-1
For the pseudo first order reaction A + B P, when studied with 0.1 M of B is given by -d[A]/dt =k[A] where K = 1.85 x 104 sec-1. Calculate the value of rate constant for second order reaction :
A + B P
-d[A]/dt = K[A]=1.85x104x[A] ....(1)
Assuming reaction to be of second order
-d[A]/dt = k[A][B] = -d[A]/dt = k'[A][0.1]....(2)
on dividing eqn (1) by (2)
1 = 1.85x104/K'x0.1 = K' = -1.85 x 105 L/mol sec
Time required to decompose half of the substance for (n)th order reaction is propotional to:-
(4) t1/2 ∝1/an-1
What is the activation energy for reverse reaction on the basis of given data ?
N2O4(g) 2NO2(g) ΔH = +54kJ
Ea(forward) = +57.2 kJ
ΔH = (Ea)t -(Ea)b
54 = 57.2 - x
x = 3.2 kJ
For a first-order reaction, the time required for 99.9% of the reaction to take place is nearly :
t99.9 = (2.303/k)log (100/100-99.9) = 6.909/k ....
Now, t1/2 = (2.303/k)log (100/100-50) = (2.303/k)log2 ....(2)
From and (2)
t99.9 / t1/2 =10
The concentration of reactant X decreases from 0.1 M to 0.005 M in 40 minutes. If the reaction follows first order kinetics, the rate of reaction when concentration of X is 0.01 M will be
k = (2.303/40)log(0.1/0.005)
k = (2.303/40))x1.3
Rate = k[X] = (2.303/40))x1.3x0.01
= 7.5 x 10-4 M min-1
Mechanism of a hypothetical reaction

(i)
(ii)
(iii)
The overall order of the reaction will be
(d) We know that, slowest step is the rate determining step.
Rater(r) = K1[X2][Y2] ......(i)
Now, from equation. (i), I.e.
.....(ii)
Now, substitute the value of[X] from equation. (ii) in equation. (i), we get
A first order reaction has a specific reaction rate of 10-2s-1. How much time will it take for 20 g of the reactant to reduce to 5 g?
(b) For a first order reaction,
Rate constant (k) = 2.303/t . log(a/a-x)
where, a = initial concentration
a-x = concentration after time 't'
t= time in 'sec'
Given, a= 20 g, a-x = 5g, k=10-2
... t =2.303/10-2 . log(20/5) = 138.6 s
Alternatively,
Half-life for the first order reaction,
t1/2/2 = 0.693/k = 0.693/10-2 = 69.3s
Two half-lives are required for the reduction of 20 g of reactant into 5g
20g 10g
The decomposition of phosphine (PH3) on tungsten at low pressure is a first-order reaction. It is because the

This is an example of surface catalysed unimolecular decomposition.
For the above reaction, rate is given as
Rate = k/1+
where, = partial pressure of absorbing substrate.
At low pressure,
