  2. $2\cfrac{d}{dt}[{N} _{2}{O} _{5}]$

  3. $\cfrac{1}{2}\cfrac{d}{dt}[{NO} _{2}]$

  4. $4\cfrac{d}{dt}[{NO} _{2}]$

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

For the reaction,  $\displaystyle 2{N} _{2}{O} _{5}\longrightarrow 4{NO} _{2}+{O} _{2} $  the rate of reaction is  $\displaystyle \cfrac{1}{2}\cfrac{d}{dt}[{NO} _{2}]$


 Rate of reaction $\displaystyle -\cfrac{1}{2}\cfrac{d[{N} _{2}{O} _{5}]}{dt}=\cfrac{1}{4}\cfrac{d[{NO} _{2}]}{dt}$

The rate constant for the reaction,

$2{N} _{2}{O} _{5}\longrightarrow 4{NO} _{2}+{O} _{2}$ is $3.0\times {10}^{-4}{s}^{-1}$.

 If start made with $1.0$ $mol$ ${L}^{-1}$ of ${N} _{2}{O} _{5}$, calculate the rate of formation of ${NO} _{2}$ at the moment of the reaction when concentration of ${O} _{2}$ is $0.1mol$ ${L}^{-1}$ :

chemistry chemical kinetics kinetic study of some first order reactions rate of chemical reaction endothermic and exothermic reactions

  1. $2.7\times {10}^{-4}mol$ ${L}^{-1}{s}^{-1}$

  2. $2.4\times {10}^{-4}mol$ ${L}^{-1}{s}^{-1}$

  3. $4.8\times {10}^{-4}mol$ ${L}^{-1}{s}^{-1}$

  4. $9.6\times {10}^{-4}mol$ ${L}^{-1}{s}^{-1}$

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

$Mol$ ${L}^{-1}$ of ${N} _{2}{O} _{5}$ reacted $=2\times 0.1=0.2$

$[{N} _{2}{O} _{5}]$ left $=1.0-0.2=0.8mol$ ${L}^{-1}$
Rate of reaction $=k\times [{N} _{2}{O} _{5}]$
$=3.0\times {10}^{-4}\times 0.8$
$=2.4\times {10}^{-4}mol$ ${L}^{-1}{s}^{-1}$
Rate of formation of ${NO} _{2}$
$=4\times 2.4\times {10}^{-4}=9.6\times {10}^{-4}mol$ ${L}^{-1}{s}^{-1}$

  1. $0.01M.min^{-1}$

  2. $0.002M.min^{-1}$

  3. $0.05M.min^{-1}$

  4. $0.06M.min^{-1}$

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

$t=A.{ e }^{ -kt }\ So,\quad (A-{ A } _{ o })=A.({ e }^{ -kt }-1)\ \therefore 380=A.({ e }^{ -kt }-1)\ { A } _{ o }=\cfrac { 380 }{ { e }^{ -10k }-1 } $
 Otherewise,
$ { P } _{ o }=[{ A } _{ o }]RT\ { P } _{ o }={ [{ A }] } _{ 10 }RT\ \cfrac { { P } _{ 10 }-{ P } _{ o } }{ 7 } =\cfrac { ({ A } _{ 10 }-{ A } _{ o })RT }{ 7 } \ \cfrac { \cfrac { 760 }{ 380 }  }{ 10 } =\vartheta .RT\ \cfrac { 2 }{ 10RT } =\vartheta $
$ \vartheta \sim 0.01{ M. }{ min }^{ -1 }\longrightarrow$ Option (A)

  2. $2\ M$

  3. $4\ M$

  4. $0.08\ M$

$2\times { 10 }^{ -4 }=\dfrac { 3\times { 10 }^{ -3 } }{ 60 } \times \left[ { H } _{ 2 }{ O } _{ 2 } \right] $
$\left[ { H } _{ 2 }{ O } _{ 2 } \right] =4 M$

Inversion of a sugar follows first order rate equation which can be followed by noting the change in rotation of the plane of polarisation of light in a polarimeter. If ${ r } _{ \infty  },{ r } _{ t }$ and ${ r } _{ 0 }$ are the rotations at $t=\infty , t=t$ and $t=0$, then first order reaction can be written as:

  1. $k=\dfrac { 1 }{ t } \log _{ e }{ \dfrac { { r } _{ t }-{ r } _{ \infty } }{ { r } _{ 0 }-{ r } _{ \infty } } } $

  2. $k=\dfrac { 1 }{ t } \log _{ e }{ \dfrac { { r } _{ 0 }-{ r } _{ \infty } }{ { r } _{ t }-{ r } _{ 0 } } } $

$({ r } _{ t }-{ r } _{ 0 })=({ r } _{ 0 }-{ r } _{ \infty  }){ e }^{ -kt }\ \ln { \left( \cfrac { { r } _{ t }-{ r } _{ 0 } }{ { r } _{ 0 }-{ r } _{ \infty  } }  \right)  } =-kt\ k=\cfrac { 1 }{ t } \ln { \left( \cfrac { { r } _{ t }-{ r } _{ 0 } }{ { r } _{ 0 }-{ r } _{ \infty  } }  \right)  } $

The inversion of cane sugar into glucose and fructose is:

chemistry chemical kinetics kinetic study of some first order reactions rate of chemical reaction endothermic and exothermic reactions

  1. $I$ order

  2. $II$ order

  3. $III$ order

  4. zero order

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Inversion of cane sugar follow Ist order reaction while its molecularity is 2 and reaction is given by
$ \implies C _{12}H _{22}O _{11} +H _2O \rightarrow C _6 H _{12}O _6 + C _6H _{12}O _6$

Here the rate of reaction is dependent on only $C _{12}H _{22}O _{11}$.

  1. $6931$ sec

  2. $4000$ sec

  3. $2000$ sec

  4. $1000$ sec

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

$k=0.06931{ s }^{ -1 }$

 So,
$ t=\cfrac { \ln { \left( \cfrac { 0.04 }{ 0.01 }  \right)  }  }{ 0.06931 } \ =2000{ s }^{ -1 }$

Benzene diazonium chloride (A) decomposes into chloro-benzene (B) and ${{\text{N}} _{\text{2}}}\left( {\text{g}} \right)$ in first order reaction volume of ${{\text{N}} _2}$ collected after 5 min and at the complete decomposition of A are 10 ml and 50 ml respectively. The rate constant for the reaction is:

chemistry chemical kinetics kinetic study of some first order reactions rate of chemical reaction endothermic and exothermic reactions

  1. 0.446 ${\min ^{ - 1}}$

  2. 0.0446 ${\min ^{ - 1}}$

  3. 0.223 ${\min ^{ - 1}}$

  4. 0.112 ${\min ^{ - 1}}$

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

t = 0

                              $\mathop {\text{A}}\limits _{50}  \to \mathop {\text{B}}\limits _0  + \mathop {{{\text{N}} _2}}\limits _0 $
At t = 5 min.    50 - 10          10 ml
t = complete                          50 ml
          $\ln  = \left( {\dfrac{{50}}{{40}}} \right) = {\kappa _1} \times 5$
  $\dfrac{{0.223}}{5} = {\kappa _1} \Rightarrow 0.0446\,{\min ^{ - 1}}$
Hence, option (B) is correct.

  1. The concentration of the reactant decreases exponentially with time.

  2. The half-life of the reaction decreases with increasing temperature.

  3. The half-life of the reaction depends on the initial concentration of the reactant.

  4. The reaction proceeds to $99.6$% completion in eight half-life duration.

Show answer
Correct Option: A,B,D
Explanation:
For 1st order reaction,
$a _t=a _0e^{-kt}$
Also, $t _{1/2}=\frac{In2}{k}$ or $t _{1/2}\alpha \frac{1}{k}$
As the temperature increases, value of k also increases due to which $t _{1/2}$ decreases.
For 99.6% completion, $a _t=(\frac{100-99.6}{100})a _0=\frac{4a _0}{1000}$
$t=\frac{1}{k}In\frac{a _0}{4a-0/1000}=\frac{1}{k}In\frac{1000}{4}$
$=(\frac{t _{1/4}}{In2}).In250$
$t=8t _{1/2}$

For the reaction, ${\text{2}}{{\text{N}} _{\text{2}}}{{\text{O}} _{\text{5}}} \to {\text{4N}}{{\text{O}} _{\text{2}}} + {{\text{O}} _{\text{2}}}$, the value of rate and rate constant are $1.02\times 10^{-4} M/s$ and $3.4 \times {10^{ - 3}}{\sec ^{ - 1}}$ respectively. The concentration of ${{\text{N}} _{\text{2}}}{{\text{O}} _{\text{5}}}$ at that time will be: (in terms of molarity)
