` T = 546 k `
`E_(a)=179.9KJ mol^(-1) =179.9xx10^(3) J mol ^(-1)`
According to the Arrhenius equation,
`k=Ae^(-E)`
`rArr "In "k=In A-E_(0)/(RT)`
`rArr"log"k=log A-E_(0)/(2.303RT)`
`rArr"log"A=log K+E_(0)/(2.303RT)`
`="log"(2.418xx10^(-5)S^(-1))+(179.xx10^(3) J "mol"^(-1))/(2.303xx8.314 "JK"^(-1)"mol"^(-1)xx546K)`
=`(0.3835 - 5) + 17.2082`

Consider a certain reaction `A rarr` Products with `k=2.0xx10^(-2)s^(-1)`. Calculate the concentration of `A` remaining after `100s` if the initial concentration of `A` is `1.0 mol L^(-1)`.

Answer» `k = 2.0xx10^(-2) s^(-1)`
`T = 100s`
` [A]_(0)=1.0mol^(-1)`
Since the unit of k is `s^(−1)`, the given
reaction is a first order reaction.
`implies 2.0xx10^(-2)s^(-1)=(2.303)/(100s)"log"(1.0)/[A]`
`implies 2.0xx10^(-2)s^(-1)=(2.303)/(100s)(-"log"[A])`
`implies -log[A]= (2.0xx10^(-2)xx100)/(2.303)`
`implies [A]= anti"log"(-(2.0xx10^(-2)xx100)/(2.303))`
`0.135"mol"L^(-1)` (approximately)
Hence, the remaining
concentration of A is` 0.135 "mol"^(-1)`

The rate constant for the decompoistion of a certain reaction is described by the equation: `log k(s^(-1)) = 14 - (1.25 xx 10^(4) K)/(T)` A two-step mechanism has been suggested for the reaction of nitric oxide and bromine: `NO(g) + Br_(2)(g) overset(k_(1))rarr NOBr_(2)(g)` `NOBr_(2)(g)+NO(g) overset(k_(2))rarr 2NOBr(g)` The observed rate law is, rate `= k[NO]^(2)[Br_(2)]`. Hence, the rate-determining step isA. `NO(g)+Br_(2)(g) rarr NOBr_(2)(g)`B. `NOBr_(2)(g)+NO(g) rarr 2NOBr(g)`C. `2NO(g) + Br_(2)(g) rarr 2NOBr(g)`D. None of these

Answer» Correct Answer - B
`NO(g)+Br_(2)(g) overset(k_(1))hArr NOBr_(2)(g)` …(i)
`NOBr_(2)(g)+NO(g)underset(RDA)overset(k_(2))rarr 2NOBr(g)` …(ii)
`:. Rate = k_(2)[NOBr_(2)][NO]` …(iii)
Since `NOBr_(2)` is the reactive intermediate, so its concentration is determined form step (i).
`:. k_(1) or k_(eq) = ([NOBr_(2)])/([NO][Br_(2)])`
or `[NOBr_(2)] = k_(1)[NO][Br_(2)]`
Substitute the `[NOBr_(2)]` in step (iii),
`:. Rate = k_(1)k_(2)[NO]^(2)[Br_(2)] = K[NO]^(2)[Br_(2)]`

The rate constant for the first order decompoistion of a certain reaction is described by the equation `log k (s^(-1)) = 14.34 - (1.25 xx 10^(4)K)/(T)` (a) What is the energy of activation for the reaction? (b) At what temperature will its half-life periof be `256 min`?

Answer» Step I. Calculation of activation energy `(E_(a))`
According to Arrhenius equation , k=`Ae^(-Ea//RT)`.
log k `= log A - (E_(a))/(2.303 RT)`
The given equ. Is log k `= 14.34 - (1.25 xx 10^(4)(K))/(T)`
On comparison: `E_(a)/(2.303 RT) = (1.25 xx 10^(4)(K))/(T)`
`E_(a) = 1.25 xx 10^(4) xx 2.303 xx 8.314 (J mol^(-1))`
`=239,339 J mol^(-1) = 239.339 kJ mol^(-1)`
Step II. Calculation of desired temperature
For the first order reaction , k `= 0.693/t_(1//2) = 0.693/(256 min) = 0.693/(256 xx 60s) = 4.51 xx 10^(-5) s^(-1)`
According to Arrheneius theory, log k `= 14.34 - (1.25 xx 10^(4))/T` , `-4.35 = 14.34 -(1.25 xx 10^(4))/(18.69) = 669 K`
470.

The rate constant for the first order decomposition of a certain reaction is described by the equation `log k (s^(-1)) = 14.34 - (1.25 xx 10^(4)K)/(T)` (a) What is the energy of activation for the reaction? (b) At what temperature will its half-life period be `256 min`?

Answer» Arrhenius equation is given by ,
`k = Ae^(-E_(a) //RT)`
`implies ` ln k = ln A `- (E_(a))/(RT)`
`implies` ln k = log A `-(E_(a))/(RT)`
`implies ` log k = log A `- (E_(a))/(2.303 RT) " " (i)`
The given equation is
log k = `14. 34 - 1.25 xx 10^(4) K//T " " (ii)`
From equation (i) and (ii) , we obtain
`(E_(a))/(2.303RT) = (1.25 xx 10^(4)K)/(T)`
`implies E_(a) = 1.25 xx 10^(4) K xx 2.303 xx R`
=` 1.25 xx 10^(4) K xx 2.303 xx 8.314 J K^(-1) mol^(-1)`
= `239339.3 J mol^(-1)` (approximately)
= `239. 34 kJ mol^(-1)`
Also , when `t_(1//2)` = 256 minutes
`k = (0.693)/(t_((1)/(2)))`
= `(0.693)/(256)`
= `2.707 xx 10^(-3) "min"^(-1)`
=`4.51 xx 10^(-5) s^(-1)`
It is also given that log k = `14.34 - 1.25 xx 10^(4) K//T`
`implies` log `(4.51 xx 10^(-5)) = 14.34 - (1.25 xx 10^(4)K)/(T)`
`implies "log" (0.654 - 05) = 14.34 - (1.25 xx 10^(4)K)/(T)`
`implies (1.25 xx 10^(4)K)/(T) = 18. 686`
`implies T = (1.25 xx 10^(4) K)/(18.686)`
= 668. 85 K
= 669 K (approximately)
471.

Rate constant for the decomposition of ethylene oxide into `CH_(4)` and CO may be described be the equation. `logk(s)^(-1)=14.34-(1.25xx10^(4))/(T)` (a) What is the energy of activation of this reaction ? (b) What is the value of k at 670K ?

Answer» (a) We know that,
`log_(10)k=log_(10)A-(E)/(2.3030RT)" "....(i)`
`log _(10)(s^(-1))=14.34-(1.25xx10^(4))/(T)" "....(ii)`
Comparing eq. (i) and eq. (ii), we get
`(E)/(2.303R)=1.25xx10^(4)`
`E=1.25xx10^(4)xx2.303xx8.314xx10^(-3)`
`E=239.339KJ//mol`
(b) Substituting the value of T, i.e., at 670 K , in equation (ii), we get,
`logk(s^(-1))=14.34-(1.25xx10^(4))/(670)=-4.3167`
`k=4.82xx10^(-5)s^(-1)`
472.

Sucrose decomposes in acid solution into glucose and fructose according to the first order rate law, with `t_(1//2)=3.00hr.` What fraction of sample of sucrose remains after `8 hr` ?

Answer» For a first order reaction ,
`k = (2.303)/(t) "log" ([R]_(0))/([R])`
It is given , `t_(1//2) = 3.00` hours
`k = (0.693)/(t_((1)/(2)))`
Therefore ,
= `(0.693)/(3) h^(-1)`
= `0.231 h^(-1)`
Then , `0.231 h^(-1) = (2.303)/(8h) "log" ([R]_(0))/([R])`
`implies "log" ([R]_(0))/([R]) = (0.231 h^(-1) xx 8 h)/(2.303)`
`implies ([R]_(0))/([R])`= antilog (`0.8024`)
`implies ([R]_(0))/([R]) = 6.3445`
`implies ([R])/([R]_(0)) = 0.1576` (approx)
=`0.158`
Hence , the fraction of sample of sucrose that remains after 8 hours is `0.158`
473.

Two reactions `A rarr` products and `B rarr` products have rate constants `k_(a)` and `k_(b)` respectively at temperature `T` and activation energies are `E_(a)` and `E_(b)` respectively. If `k_(a) gt k_(b)` and `E_(a) lt E_(b)` and assuming the freuency factor `A` in both the reactions are same thenA. on increasing temperature `k_` will be greater than `k_(b)`B. At lower temperature `k_(a)` and `k_` will differ moreC. As temperature rises `k_(a)` and `k_(b)` will be close to each other in magnitudeD. All of the above are correct

Answer» Correct Answer - D
ln `k_(a) = A - E_(a)//RT`, ln `k_(b) = A - E_(b)//RT`
As temperature rises `E//RT` become negligible.

Two reaction : `X rarr` Products and `Y rarr` Products have rate constants `k_(1)` and `k_(2)` at temperature `T` and activation energies `E_(1)` and `E_(2)`, respectively. If `k_(1) gt k_(2)` and `E_(1) lt E_(2)` (assuming that the Arrhenius factor is same for both the Products), then (I) On increaisng the temperature, increase in `k_(2)` will be greater than increaisng in `k_(1)`. (II) On increaisng the temperature, increase in `k_(1)` will be greater than increase in `k_(2)`. (III) At higher temperature, `k_(1)` will be closer to `k_(2)`. (IV) At lower temperature, `k_(1) lt k_(2)`A. At higher temperature `K_(A)` will be greater than `K_(B)`B. At lower temperature `K_(A)` and `K_(B)` will differ more and `K_(A) gt K_(B)`C. As temperature rises `K_(A)` and `K_(B)` will be close to each other in magnitudeD. All of these

Answer» Correct Answer - d
`K_(A)=Ae^(-E_(A)//RT)` and `K_(B)=Ae^(-E_(B)//RT)`
Also `K_(A) gt K_(B)`
`E_(A) lt E_(B)`

Two reaction : `X rarr` Products and `Y rarr` Products have rate constants `k_(1)` and `k_(2)` at temperature `T` and activation energies `E_(1)` and `E_(2)`, respectively. If `k_(1) gt k_(2)` and `E_(1) lt E_(2)` (assuming that the Arrhenius factor is same for both the Products), then (I) On increaisng the temperature, increase in `k_(2)` will be greater than increaisng in `k_(1)`. (II) On increaisng the temperature, increase in `k_(1)` will be greater than increase in `k_(2)`. (III) At higher temperature, `k_(1)` will be closer to `k_(2)`. (IV) At lower temperature, `k_(1) lt k_(2)`A. IB. IIC. I, IIID. I, III, IV

Answer» Correct Answer - B
Since `k_(2) lt k_(2)` and `E_(2) gt E_(1)`
form Arrehenius equation `(k = Ae^(-E_(a)//RT))`, if `k_(1)` is high then `E_(1)` is low. Therefore, with increase in temperature increase in `k_(1)` will be greater than increase in `k_(2)`.

The rate constants `k_(1)` and `k_(2)` of two reactions are in the ratio `2:1`. The corresponding energies of acativation of the two reaction will be related byA. `E_(1) gt E_(2)`B. `E_(1) gt E_(2)`C. `E_(1)=E_(2)`D. `E_(1)=2E_(2)`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
`k_(1)//k_(2)= 2:1 or k_(1)=2k_(1), i.e., k_(1) gt k_(2)`. Uisng Arrhenius eqaution,
`k=Ae^(-E_(a)//RT)`
Therefore, if `k` is high `E_(a)` is low. Hence, `E_(2) gt E_(1)`

`k = Ae^(-E_(a)//RT)`
When `E_(a) = 0, k = A =` constant
`:. k_(310) = k_(300) = 3.2 xx 10^(4) s^(-1)`.

For a certain reaction, a plot of `([C_(0)-C])/(C )` against time `t`, yields a straight line. `C_(0)` and C are concentrations of reaction at `t=0` and `t=t` respectively. The order of reaction is:A. `3`B. ZeroC. `1`D. `2`

Answer» Correct Answer - d
For II order, `(-dC_(A))/(dt)=K[C_(A)]^(2)`
On interating
`1/C_(A)=Kt+ constt`., `(at t=0, C_(A)= C_(0))`
`1/C=Kt+ 1/C_(0)`
`((C_(0)-C))/(C_(0)-C)=Kt`
