A Correct answer
Explanation
For the first-order reaction, the rate of the reaction is given by the expression

Rate $\displaystyle  = k [N _2O _5]$ where k is the rate constant.

Substitute values in the above expression

Rate $\displaystyle  = 6.2\times 10^{-4}S^{-1} \times 1.25\:mole\:L^{-1} = 7.75\times 10^{-4}mol\:L^{-1}S^{-1}$

So, the correct option is $A$

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

${ C } _{ 12 }{ H } _{ 22 }{ O } _{ 11 }+{ H } _{ 2 }O\xrightarrow [  ]{ \quad { H }^{ + }\quad  } { C } _{ 6 }{ H } _{ 12 }{ O } _{ 6 }+{ C } _{ 6 }{ H } _{ 12 }{ O } _{ 6 }$
Rate $=k\left[ { C } _{ 12 }{ H } _{ 22 }{ O } _{ 11 } \right] \left[ { H } _{ 2 }O \right] $
When water is in excess, its concentration will be constant.
$\therefore $ Rate $={ k }^{ ' }\left[ { C } _{ 12 }{ H } _{ 22 }{ O } _{ 11 } \right] $
The reaction is, therefore, pseudo first order or pseudo unimolecular reaction.

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 $0.1mol$ ${L}^{-1}$ :

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

  1. $I$ order
  2. $II$ order
  3. $III$ order
  4. zero order

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
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$
