D,E Correct answer
Explanation

$A+B+C\longrightarrow D+E$

 Rate of reaction is defined as the change in concentration of reactant or product to time.
 Rate $ (R)=\cfrac { -d[A] }{ dt } =\cfrac { -d[B] }{ dt } =\cfrac { -d[C] }{ dt } =\cfrac { d[D] }{ dt } =\cfrac { d[E] }{ dt } $
Therefore, (D)  &  (E) i.e. $ \cfrac { -d[D] }{ dt } & \quad \cfrac { -d[E] }{ dt } $ respectively are not valid ways of describing the rate of the following reaction.

${H} _{2}(g)+{I} _{2}(g)+51.9\ kilojoules\rightarrow 2HI(g)$
Which of the following can be expected to increase the rate of the reaction given by the equation above?
$I$. Adding some helium gas
$II$. Adding a catalyst
$III$. Increasing the temperature

  1. $I$ only
  2. $III$ only
  3. $II$ only
  4. $II$ and $III$ only
  5. $I,II$ and $III$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

(i)   Addition of Helium gas will not increase the rate of reaction. It will either remain same or decrease depending upon 

      whether addition is done in constant volume or constant pressure conditions.
(ii)  Adding a catalyst will lower the activation energy and thus increase the value of the rate constant which will increase the rate.
(iii)  Increasing the temperature will also increase the value of rate constant and thus the rate of the reaction will increase.
                       $K=A{ e }^{ -Ea/RT }$
$\therefore $ only (ii) & (iii).

The rate of reaction for a concentrated strong acid with a concentrated strong base is least affected by which of the following?

  1. The use of a catalyst.

  2. A change in temperature.

  3. A change in reactant concentration.

  4. A change in pressure.
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

A change in pressure effects only if there is a difference between the number of moles of gaseous products & the number of moles of gaseous reactant. In short, a change in pressure affects only if there is at least one gas either in products or reactants. 

Reaction could be such as:


$ HCl(aq) + NaOH (aq) \rightarrow  NaCl(aq) + H _2O (l)$

As the reaction between concentrated acid and a base reactant or product takes place, there is least effect of change in pressure on the rate of reaction.

Hence, the correct option is D.

Which factor has no influence on the rate of reaction?

  1. Molecularity

  2. Temperature

  3. Concentration of reactant

  4. Nature of reactant
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Molecularity is a theoretical concept describing the mechanism of an elementary step, whereas the rate of a reaction is an experimental observation influenced by external factors like temperature, concentration, and catalysts.

The rate constant of the relation $ A \rightarrow B $ is $ 0.6 \times 10^{-3} $ mole per second. If the concentration of $B$ after $20$ minutes is :

  1. $0.36$ M
  2. $0.72$ M
  3. $1.08$ M
  4. $3.60$ M

B Correct answer
Explanation

By unit of rate constant it is clear,that the $reaction$ is zero order. 

$\therefore \left [ B \right ]=k\times t$
         $=0.72M$

The rate law for a reaction between the substances $A$ and $B$ is given by rate$=k{ \left[ A \right]  }^{ n }{ \left[ B \right]  }^{ m }$. On doubling the concentration of $A$ and having the concentration of $B$ halved, the ratio of the new rate to the earlier rate of the reaction will be as:

  1. $\cfrac { 1 }{ { 2 }^{ m+n } } $
  2. $(m+n)$
  3. $(n-m)$
  4. ${2}^{(n-m)}$

D Correct answer
Explanation

Given that

                    $R=K[A]^n[B]^m$
after doubling the concentration of $A$ and concentration of $B$ is halfed 
$R^1=K[2A]^n[\dfrac{B}{2}]^m$
$R^1 =(2)^{n-m} R$
$ \dfrac{R^1}{R}= \dfrac{2^{n-m}}{1}$

The rate equation for the reaction $2A+B \rightarrow C$ is found to be rate = $k[A] [B]$. The correct statement in relation to this reaction is that the :

  1. units of $k$ must be$\ mol^{-1} L$ $s^{-1}$.
  2. $t _{1/2}$ is constant

  3. rate of formation of C is twice the rate of disappearance of A
  4. value of $k$ is independent of the initial concentration of A and B
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

The given reaction is $2A+B\longrightarrow C$

The given rate equation is:-
$rate=K[A] [B]$

The unit of rate is $mol L^{-1} s^{-1}$
Unit of $[A]= mol L^{-1}$
Unit of $[B]= mol L^{-1}$

Unit of $K$=$\cfrac {mol L^{-1} s^{-1}}{mol L^{-1} mol L^{-1}}$
$=mol^{-1} L$ $s^{-1}$.

The reaction $A(g)+2B(g)\rightarrow C(g)+D(g)$ is an elementary process. In an experiment in volving this reaction. The initial pressure of A and B are $P _A=0.6$ atm $P _B=0.8$atm respectively when $P _C=0.2$ atm, the rate of reaction relative to the initial rate is:

  1. $\displaystyle\frac{1}{6}$
  2. $\displaystyle\frac{1}{12}$
  3. $\displaystyle\frac{1}{36}$
  4. $\displaystyle\frac{1}{18}$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation
        $A(g) + 2(B) \rightarrow C(g) + D(g)$
 t = 0  0.6         0.8              0     0
 at t     0.6-x      0.8-x          x       x
since this the elementary reaction
rate,r = $K[B]^2 [A]$
now $r _i = k (0.6)(0.8)^2 = 0.38K$
when $P _i = x - 0.2$ atm
when $P _A= 0.6-x =0.4$ atm
when $P _B= 0.8 - 2x =0.4$ atm
$r _f = K(0.4) (0.4)^2 = 0.064K$
$r _1/r _2 = 0.064/0.384 = 1/6$
