Fill in the blanks by choosing the correct option;
Order of the reaction is the $X$ of the powers to which concentration terms are raised in experimentally determined rate equation. The unit of first order rate constant is $Y$. The unit of first order rate constant when concentration is measured in terms of pressure and time in minutes is $Z$.

  1. $X\rightarrow product, Y\rightarrow mol\ L^{-1} time^{-1}, Z\rightarrow atm\ min^{-1}$
  2. $X\rightarrow sum, Y\rightarrow L\ mol^{-1}time^{-1}, Z\rightarrow atm\ min^{-1}$
  3. $X\rightarrow product, Y\rightarrow L\ mol^{-1}, Z\rightarrow atm\ min^{-1}$
  4. $X\rightarrow sum, Y\rightarrow time^{-1}, Z \rightarrow min^{-1}$

D Correct answer
Explanation

The order of a chemical reaction is defined as the sum of the powers of the concentration of the reactants in the rate equation of that particular chemical reaction.


General formula for the unit of rate constant = mole$^{(1-n)}$ L$^{(n-1)}$ min$^{-1}$.

For 1$^{st}$ order reaction, 
n = 1
Therefore, unit of rate constant $=$ min$^{-1}$

The unit of rate constant in terms of pressure and time:
  mol $^{( 1-n)}$  L $^{ (n-1)}$ min$^{ -1 }$ or  atm$^{( 1-n) }$ min $^{ -1 }$


For 1$^{st}$ order reaction, 
n = 1
Therefore, the unit is min$^{-1}.$

Hence, the correct answer is option $\text{D}$.

D Correct answer
Explanation
(A) $Rate= k[NH _3]^0$
It is zero order reaction.
$\therefore$ Units of rate constant are same as rate.
i.e $ mol\ l^{-1}s^{-1}$

(B) $Rate=k[H _2O _2]^1[I^-]^1$
It is second order reaction as order $=1+1=2$
$\therefore$ Units of Rate constant are $L \ mol^{-1}s^{-1}$

(C) $Rate=k[CH _3CHO]^{3/2}$
It is fractional order reaction with order $= \cfrac 32$
$\therefore$ Units of rate constant are $L^{\cfrac 12}mol^{-\cfrac 12}s^{-1}$

(D) $Rate=k[C _2H _5Cl]^{-1}$
It is first order reaction. So units of rate constant are $s^{-1}$

For the second order reaction, concentration $(x)$ of the product at time $t$ starting with initial concentration $[A] _0$ is:

  1. $\dfrac{kt[A _0]^2}{1 + kt[A _0]}$
  2. $\dfrac{k + [A _0]^2}{1 + kt}$
  3. $\dfrac{1 + kt[A _0]^2}{k + [A _0]^2}$

  4. none of these

A Correct answer
Explanation

A reaction said to be a second order when the overall order is $2$. The rate of second order reaction may be proportional to one concentration squared.

$R=K[A]^2$
For rate proportional to single concentration squared, the time dependance of concentration is given by
$\cfrac{1}{[A]}=\cfrac{1}{A _0}+Kt
Therefore, concentration of product after time $t=\cfrac{kt[A_0]^2}{1+kt[A_0]}$.

For the reaction $A\rightarrow C+D$, the initial concentration of $A$ is $1000 M$. After $10^{2} sec$ concentration of $A$ is $100\ M$. The rate constant of the reaction has the numerical value of $9.0$. What is the unit of the reaction rate constant? 

  1. $M^{-1}s^{-1}$
  2. $Ms^{-1}$
  3. $s^{-1}$
  4. $M^{-1.5}s^{-1}$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The reaction is zero order because the rate of change of concentration is constant (1000M to 100M in 100s, rate = 9 M/s). The rate constant k for a zero-order reaction has units of concentration per time, which is M s^-1.
