  1. number of collisions get doubled

  2. value of rate constant does not change

  3. energy of activation increases

  4. number of fruitful collisions gets doubled

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Increasing the temperature of the substance, increases the fraction of molecules which collide with energies greater than $Ea$. For every $10^0 C$ rise in temperature, the fraction of molecules having energy equal to or greater than Ea gets doubled leading to doubling the rate of reaction.

Hence, the number of fruitful collisions gets doubled.

What happen with the rate of the reaction when the frequency and the number of effective collisions between reacting particles increases?

  1. Increases

  2. Decreases

  3. Remains the same

  4. Approaches zero

  5. None of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The atoms, ions and molecules can react to form products when they collide with enough kinetic energy and at favorable orientation. On increasing the frequency and the number of effective collisions between reacting particles increases the chance of reactants to come together to form a product  that results in the increase of rate of the reaction. 

What causes an increase in effective collisions without increasing average energy?

  1. An increase in the reactant concentration

  2. An increase in the temperature

  3. A decrease in pressure

  4. Catalysts

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

As the concentration of the reactant increases, effective collision between the reactant molecules also increases. And thus, the reaction rate also increases. It is the main principle of the collision theory.

Option  A is the correct answer.

Collision diameter is least in case of:

  1. ${ H } _{ 2 }$

  2. $He$

  3. ${ CO } _{ 2 }$

  4. ${ N } _{ 2 }$

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Collision diameter will be least for the low molecular weight.


$d\space \alpha\space \dfrac{1}{M}$

In this case, $Co _2$ has the highest molecular weight.

So, Option C is correct

Collision frequency of a gas at $1\ atm$ pressure is $Z$. Its value at $0.5\ atm$ will be:

  1. $0.25Z$

  2. $2Z$

  3. $0.50Z$

  4. $Z$

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

$\rightarrow$ As the pressure increases collision frequency increases.

$\rightarrow$ Vice versa pressure is decreased to half, frequency of collision decreases to half.
Hence option $C$ is correct.

If X is the total number of collisions which a gas molecule registers with other molecules per unit time under particular conditions, then the collision frequency of the gas containing N molecules per unit volume is?
