`Zn+2H^(o+)rarrZn^(2+)+H_(2)` The half-life periof is independent of the concentration of zinc at constant `pH`. For the constant concentration of `Zn`, the rate becomes `100` times when `pH` is decreased form `3` to `2`. Hence,A. `(dx)/(dt) = k[Zn]^(0)[H^(o+)]^(2)`B. `(dx)/(dt) = k[Zn][H^(o+)]^(2)`C. Rate is not affected if the concentration of zinc is made four times and that of `H^(o+)` ion is halved.D. (d) Rate becomes four times if the concentration of `H^(o+)` ion is doubled at constant `Zn` concentration.

Answer» Correct Answer - B::C::D
(i) Since `t_(1//2)` is independent of concentration of `Zn` at constant `pH` means that the order w.r.t. `[Zn] =1`.
(ii). Le `r_(1) prop [H^(o+)]^(x) rArr r_(1) prop [10^(-3)]^(x)` , [when `pH = 3`]
`r_(2) = 100r_(1) prop[10^(-2)]^(x)` , [when `pH = 2`]
Thus, `(r_(2))/(r_(1)) = [(10^(-2))/(10^(-3))]^(x)`
`100 = (10)^(2) = [10]^(x) rArr x = 2`
Hence, order w.r.t. `[H^(o+)] = 2`
(b) Hence, the rate `= ((dx)/(dt)) = k[Zn][H^(o+)]^(2)`
So (b) is the correct answer.
( c) `((dx)/(dt)) = r_(1) = k[Zn][H^(o+)]^(2)`
`r_(2) = k[Zn][(H^(o+))/(2)]^(2)`
Thus, `r_(2) = r_(1)`
(d) `r_(1) = k[Zn][H^(o+)]^(2)` ...(i)
`r_(2) = k[Zn][2H^(o+)]^(2)` ...(ii)
Divide (ii) by (i),
`r_(2) = 4r_(1)`

Why does liquid bromine reacts slowly as compared to vapours of bromine?

Answer» In the vapour state, the molecules of bromine have more kinetic energy than in the liquid state. Therefore, collisions with the molecules of other reactants in the vapour state will be faster than in the liquid state. Moreover, in the vapour state, the surface area available for the chemical reaction is more as compared to the liqiud state. Hence, bromine in the vapour state reacts at a faster rate compared with the liquid state.
