Explanation

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

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

Explanation

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 :

Explanation

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

Explanation

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

X2 + Y2            2XY is given below

(i) X2            X + X fast

(ii) X + Y2            XY + Y (slow)

(iii) X + Y           XY fast

The overall order of the reaction will be

Explanation

(d) We know that, slowest step is the rate determining step.

 Rater(r) = K1[X2][Y2]                            ......(i)

Now, from equation. (i), I.e.

        X2            2X(fast)Keq = X2X2  X = KeqX212       .....(ii)

Now, substitute the value of[X] from equation. (ii) in equation. (i), we get

                Rate(r) = K1(Keq)12[X2]12[Y2]                             = K[X2]12[Y2] Order of reaction = 12+1=32=1.5

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?

Explanation

(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

This is an example of surface catalysed unimolecular decomposition.

For the above reaction, rate is given as

 Rate = kαρ/1+αρ

(d) Given, order of reaction = 1
Rate of reaction at 10 s = 0.04 mol L-1 s-1
Rate of reaction at 20 s = 0.03 mol L-1s-1

Half-lite period (t1/2) = ?
We have the equation for rate-constant 'k' in first

Explanation

The Arrhenius equation, k = A e⁻Eᵃ/RT, relates the rate constant (k) to temperature (T) and activation energy (Eᵃ). Plotting ln(k) vs. 1/T gives a straight line with a slope of -Eᵃ/R, allowing the determination of activation energy from the slope.
