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

The inversion of a sugar follows first-order rate equation which can be followed by noting the change in the rotation of the plane of polarization of light in the polarimeter. If $r _{\propto},\, r _{\zeta}$ and $r _0$ are the rotations at $t\, =\, \propto$, t = t, and t = 0, then the first order reaction can be written as:

  1. $\displaystyle k\, =\, \frac{1}{t}\, log\, \frac{r _{1}\, -\, r _{\propto}}{r _{0}\, -\, r _{\propto}}$
  2. $\displaystyle k\, =\, \frac{1}{t}\, ln\, \frac{r _{0}\, -\, r _{\propto}}{r _{1}\, -\, r _{\propto}}$
  3. $\displaystyle k\, =\, \frac{1}{t}\, ln\, \frac{r _{\propto}\, -\, r _{0}}{r _{\propto}\, -\, r _{1}}$
  4. $\displaystyle k\, =\, \frac{1}{t}\, ln\, \frac{r _{\propto}\, -\, r _{1}}{r _{\propto}\, -\, r _{0}}$

B Correct answer
Explanation

For a first order reaction $\displaystyle A \rightarrow P$, the expression for the rate constant is
$\displaystyle \displaystyle k\, =\, \frac{1}{t}\, ln\, \frac{ a}{a-x}$
Here, A is reactant, P is product, a is the initial concentration of A and $a-x$ is the concentration of A at time t.

The inversion of a sugar follows first order rate equation which is given below.
$\displaystyle \displaystyle k\, =\, \frac{1}{t}\, ln\, \frac{r _{0}\, -\, r _{\infty}}{r _{t}\, -\, r _{\infty}}$
Here, $\displaystyle a = r _{0}\, -\, r _{\infty}$ and $\displaystyle a-x = r _{t}\, -\, r _{\infty}$

The reaction, $Sucrose\xrightarrow [  ]{ { H }^{ + } } Glucose+Fructose$, takes  place at certain temperature while the volume of solution is maintained at $1$ litre. At time zero the initial rotation of the mixture is ${ 34 }^{ o }C$.After $30$ minutes the total rotation of solution is ${ 19 }^{ o }C$ and after a very long time, the total rotation is ${ -11 }^{ o }C$. Find the time when solution was optically inactive?

  1. $135$ min
  2. $103.7$ min
  3. $38.7$ min
  4. $45$ min
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

rate constant $k = \dfrac{2.303}{t}log\dfrac{(r _0 - r _\infty) }{(r _t-r _\infty)} = 0.0135$
At the point of optical inactiveness, rotation is zero. 

So, time taken is $ t =\dfrac{ 2.303}{k}log(45/11) = 103.7$ min.

Inversion of a sugar folllows first order rate equation which can be followed by nothing the change in rotation of the plane of polarization of light in the 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:

C Correct answer
Explanation

$\underset{d-Sucrose}{C _{12}H _{22}O _{11}}+H _2O\xrightarrow{H+}\underset{d-Glucose}{C _6H _{12}O _6}+\underset{l-Fructose}{C _6H _{12}O _6}$


Initially               a                Excess                  0                0

At infinity           0               Constant               a                 a
If $r _0,r _t$ and $r _{\infty}$ be the observed angle of rotations of the sample at zero times, times $t$ and infinity respectively, and $k _1,k _2$ and $k _3$ proportionate in terms of sucrose,glucose and fructose, respectively.
Then,
$r _0=k _1a$
$r _t=k _1(a-x)+k _2x+k _3x$
$r _{\infty}=k _2a+k _3a$
From these equations it can be shown that
$\dfrac{a}{a-x}=\dfrac{r _0-r _{\infty}}{r _t-r _{\infty}}$
So, the expression for the rate constant rate of this reaction in terms of the optical rotational data may be 
put as $k=\dfrac{2.303}{t}\log \dfrac{r _0-r _{\infty}}{r _t-r _{\infty}}$

$ (a)2H _{2}O _{2}\rightarrow 2H _{2}O+O _{2} $

We know, $ \dfrac{-1}{2}\dfrac{d[H _{2}O _{2}]}{dt} = \dfrac{-1}{2}\dfrac{d[H _{2}O]}{dt} = \dfrac{d[O _{2}]}{dt} $

$ \dfrac{d[H _{2}O]}{dt} = 2\dfrac{d[O _{2}]}{dt} = 2\times 3.6\,M\,min^{-1} $

$ \dfrac{d[H _{2}O]}{dt} = 7.2\,M\,min^{-1} $

$(b) \dfrac{-d[H _{2}O _{2}]}{dt} = \dfrac{2}{2}\dfrac{d[H _{2}O]}{dt} = \dfrac{-d[H _{2}O _{2}]}{dt} = 7.2\,M\,min^{-1} $

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

The integrated rate law expression for the inversion of can sugar (assuming first order kinetics) is as shown.
$\displaystyle k = \frac {2.303}{t} log \frac {r _0 - r _{\infty}}{r _t - r _{\infty}} $
For 60 minutes
$\displaystyle k = \frac {2.303}{60} log \frac {13.1 - (-3.8)}{11.6 - (3.8)} = 0.001549 $
For 120 minutes
$\displaystyle k = \frac {2.303}{120} log \frac {13.1 - (-3.8)}{10.2 - (3.8)} = 0.001569 $
For 180 minutes
$\displaystyle k = \frac {2.303}{180} log \frac {13.1 - (-3.8)}{9.0 - (3.8)} = 0.001544 $
For 360 minutes
$\displaystyle k = \frac {2.303}{360} log \frac {13.1 - (-3.8)}{5.87 - (3.8)} = 0.001551 $
Since, the value of k is constant, the reaction follows first order reaction.
The average value of k is $\displaystyle  \frac {0.001549+0.001569+0.001544+0.001551}{4} = \frac {0.0062135}{4} = 0.001553 : min^{-1}$
To determine the total time, substitute $\displaystyle r _t = 0 $ in the above expression.
$\displaystyle t = \frac {2.303}{k} log \frac {r _0 - r _{\infty}}{r _t - r _{\infty}} $
$\displaystyle t = \frac {2.303}{0.001553} log \frac {13.1 - (-3.8)}{0 - (-3.8)} = 966 : min $

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

Rate $\displaystyle = k _b[NO _2][NO _3] $ .....(1)

But $\displaystyle \dfrac {[NO _2][NO _3]}{[N _2O _5]}=  \dfrac {K _a}{K _{-a} + 2k _b}$

Hence $\displaystyle [NO _2][NO _3]  =\dfrac {K _a}{K _{-a}+2k _b} [N _2O _5]$......(2)

Substitute equation (2) in equation (1):

$\displaystyle \displaystyle Rate=\frac{k _{a}\times k _{b}}{k _{-a}+2k _{b}}[N _{2}O _{5}]$

C Correct answer
Explanation

According to the concept of law of multiple proportions, if two elements chemically combine to give two or more compounds, then the weight of one element which combines with the fixed weight of the other element in those compound, bear simple multiple ratios to one another.


Hence, $CuO$ and $CU _2O$ form two different compounds in a ratio of 1:2 with the fixed weight of oxygen.
