when ammonia is treated with `O_(2)` at elevated temperature the rate of disappearance of ammonia is found to be `3.5 xx10^(-2)` mol `L^(-1) sec (-1)` during a measured time interval. The rate of appearance of water will beA. `3.5xx10^(-2)mol L^(-1)sec^(-1)`B. `5.3xx10^(-2) mol L ^(-1) s ^(-1)`C. `2.1 xx10^(1) mol L^(-1) sec ^(-1) `D. `1.4 xx 10^(-1) mol L^(-1) s^(-1)`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
Since the relative rates of appearance of the products are governed by the coefficients of the chemical equation, the first step is to write the equation for the reaction:
`4NH_(3)(g)+5O_(2)(g)rarr4NO(g)+6H_(2)O(g)`
Notice that if `4mol` of `NH_(3)` disappears, then `6mol` of `H_(2)O` from or when `1mol` of `NH_(3)` disappease, then `6//4` or `1.5mol` of `H_(2)O` from. Thus, the rate of appearance of `H_(2)O` is `1.5` times as fast as the rate of disappearance of `NH_(3)` :
`(Delta[H_(2)O])/(Deltat)=1.5((Delta[NH_(3)])/(Deltat))`
`=(1.5)(3.5xx10^(-2molL^(-1)s^(-1))`
`=5.25xx10^(-2)molL^(-1)s^(-1)`
`=5.3xx10^(-2)molL^(-1)s^(-1)`

Findingf concentration and time : The rate constant for the decomposition of gasous `N_(2)O_(5) at 55^(@)C is 1.7xx10^(-3)s^(-1)` . If the initial concentration of `N_(2)O_(5)` after five half-lives ? How long will it take for the `N_(2)O_(5)` concentration to fall to `12.5%` of its initial values ? Strategy : Because the unit of rate constant is `time^(-1)` , the decomposition of `N_(2)O_(5)` is a first order reaqction. To find `[N_(2)O_(5)]` after n half lives, multiply its initial concentration by `(1//2)^(n)` since `[N_(2)O_(5)]` drops by a factor of 2 during each successive haslf-life.

Answer» After five half-lives `(t=5t_(1//2)), [N_(2)O_(5)]` will bw `(1//2)^(5) = (1//32)` of its initial value. Therefore
`[N_(2)O_(5)]= (0.020M)/(32) = 0.00062M`
Since `12.5%` of the initial concentration corresponds to `1//8 or (1//2)^(3)` of the initial concentration, the time required is three half-lives:
`t=3t_(1//2)=3((0.693)/(k))`
`=3((0.693)/(1.7xx10^(-3)s^(-1)))`
`= 3(4.1xx10^(2)s)`
`= 1.2xx10^(3)s(20 min)`

Using the Arrhenius equation : The rate constant fot the formation of hydrogen iodide from the elemewnts `H_(2)(g)+I_(2)(g)rarr2HI(g)` is `2.7xx10^(-4)L//(mol.s)at 600 k and 3.5xx10^(-3)L//(mol.s) at 650 k` . (a) Find the activation energy `E_(a)` . (b) Calculate the rate constant at 700 k . Strategy : (a) Substitute the data given in the problem statement into the Equation `(4.37)` noted just before this example, then solve for `E_(a)` . , (b) Use the same equation, but substitute for `k_(1), T_(1), T_(2)` and `E_(a)` obtained in (a) and solve for `k_(2)` .

Answer» According to equation `(4.37)`
`log ((k_(2))/(k_(1))) = ((-E_(a))/(2.303 R)) ((1)/(T_(2)) - (1)/(T_(1)))`
or `log ((k_(2))/(k_(1))) = ((E_(a))/(2.303 R)) ((1)/(T_(1)) - (1)/(T_(2)))`
Substituting the data gives
`log ((3.5xx10^(-3))/(2.7xx10^(-4))) = (E_(a))/(2.303xx8.314 J//(mol.k)) ((1)/(600k) - (1)/(650 k))`
`log (1.30xx10^(-1)) = 1.11= (E_(a))/(2.303xx8.314 J mol^(-1)) xx (1.28xx10^(-4))`
Hence, `E_(a) = ((1.11)(2.303)(8.314 J mol^(-1)))/(1.28xx10^(-4))`
`= 16.6xx10^(4)J mol^(-1)`
`= 1.66xx10^(5) J mol^(-1)`
(b) Substitute
`E_(a) = 1.66xx10^(5)J mol^(-1)`
`k_(1) = 2.7xx10^(-5) L//(mol.s)`
`k_(2) = "unkonown as yet" , T_(1) = 60 k`
we get
`log (k_(2))/(2.7xx10^(-4)L//(mol.s)) = (1.66xx10^(5)J mol^(-1))/(2.303xx8.314 J mol^(-1) k^(-1)) ((1)/(600 k) - (1)/(700 k))`
`=2.07`
Taking antilogarithm
`((k_(2))/(2.7xx10^(-4)L//(mol.s)))= 10^(2.07) = 1.2xx10^(2)`
Hence, `k_(2) = (1.2xx10^(2))(2.7xx10^(-4))L//mol.s`
`=3.2xx10^(-2)L//(mol.s)`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
we know that , slowest step is the rate determining step .
`therefore "rater "( I) = K_(1)[X][Y_(2)]`
Now, from equation (i) i.e.,
`X_(2) to 2x["fast"]`
`K_(eq)=([X]^(2))/([X_(2)])`
`[X]= {K_(eq)|X_(2)|}^(1//2).. . (ii) `
Now , substitutethe value of [x] from equation (ii) in equation (i) , we get
Rate (I) `=K_(1)(K_(eq))^(1//2)[X_(2)]^(1//2)[Y_(2)]=K[X_(2)]^(1//2)[Y_(2)]`
`therefore ` order of reaction `=(1)/(2) +1=(3)/(2)=1.5`

According to law of mass action
r = `K [X] [Y_(2)] " " … (i)`
From fast step
`K_(eq) = ([X]^(2))/([X_(2)])`
`[X]^(2) = K_(eq) [X_(2)]`
[X] = `sqrt(K_(eq))[X_(2)]^(1//2) …. (ii)`
From equation (i) & (ii)
`r = K [X_(2)]^(1//2) [Y_(2)]`
`r = K[X_(2)]^(1//2) [Y_(2)]` .
Overall order of reaction = 1 + 0.5 = 1.5

form careful observation of the given data, it can be conclude that doubling the concentration of `A` alone doubles the rate of the reaction, therefore order with respect to `A` is one. Doubling the concentration of `B` alone does not affect the rate of the reaction, therefore order with respect to `B` is zero.
Rate `= k[A][B]^(0) = k[A]`
or `k = (0.005)/(0.01) = 0.5 min^(-1)`
Half life `= (0.693)/(k) = (0.693)/(0.5) = 1.386 min`Correct Answer - `t_(1//2) = 1.386 min`

A certain reactions is `50%` complete in 20 minutes at 300 K and the same reaction is again 50% completely in 5 minutes at 350 K. Calculate the activation energy if the reactions is of first order.

Answer» `t_(1//2) = 0.693/k` or `k =0.693/t_(1//2)`
`k_(1) = 0.693/20 min= 0.03465 min^(-1)` and `k_(2) = 0.693/(5"min") = 0.1386 min^(-1)`
According to Arrhenius equation,
`logk_(2)/k_(1) = (E_(a))/(2.303R) [1/T_(1)-1/T_(2)]`
Hence, `k_(1)= 0.03465 min^(-1)` , `k_(2)=0.1386 min^(-1), T_(1) = 300K, T_(2)=350K`
`log 4= (E_(a) xx 50)/(2.303 xx (8.314 Jmol^(-1) K^(-1))xx300 xx 350)`
`0.6020 = E_(a)/(2.303 xx (8.314 J mol^(-1)) xx (2100))`
`E_(a) = 0.6020 xx 2.303 xx (8.314 J mol^(-1)) xx (2100)`

In a particular reduction process, the concentration of a solution that is initially 0.24 M is reduced to 0.12 M in 10 hours and 0.06 M in 20 hours. What is the rate constant for the reaction?

Answer» Let us calculate the rate constant (k) in both the cases.
Ist case: a=0.24 M, (a-x)=0.24-0.12 = 0.12 M, t=10 hr
For the first order reaction,
`k=2.303/t log a/(a-x) = (2.303)/(10 hr) log (0.24M)/(0.12M) = 2.303/(10 hr) log 2=(2.303 xx 0.3010)/(10 hr)`
`(0.693)/(10hr) = 0.693 hr^(-1) = 6.93 xx 10^(-2) hr^(-1)`
IInd case: a=0.24 M, a-x =0.24-0.06=0.18M, t=20 hr.
For the first order reaction,
`k=(2.303)/t log a/(a-x) = 2.303/(20 hr) log (0.24 M)/(0.06 M) = (2.303)/(20 hr) log4 = (2.303)/(20 hr) xx 2 log 2`
`=(2.303 xx 2 xx 0.3010)/(20 hr) = 0.0693 hr^(-1) = 6.93 xx 10^(-2) hr^(-1)`

In a reaction with initially `0.12 M`, the concentration of reactant is reduced to `0.06 M` in `10` hour and to `0.03 M` in `20` hour. (i) What is order of reaction? (ii) What is rate constant? (b) The rate of a first order reaction is `0.04 mol litre^(-1) s^(-1)` at `10` minute and `0.30 mol litre^(-1)` at `20` minute after initiation. Find the half-life of the reaction.

Answer» Assuming I order, i.e., `K=2.303/t"log"_(10) a/((a-x))`
For case `I: a=0.12 M, (a-x)=0.06 M, t=10 hr`
`K=2.303/10"log"_(10)0.12/0.06=0.069 hr^(-1)`
For Case `II: a=0.12 M, (a-x)=0.03 M, t=20 hr`
`K=2.303/20"log"_(10)0.12/0.03=0.069 hr^(-1)`
`:.` Reaction is of I order and rate constant
`K=0.069 hr^(-1)`
(b) Rate `=Kxx[A]`
`0.04=K[A]_(10)` and `0.03=K[A]_(20)`
`([A]_(10))/([A]_(20))=0.04/0.03=4/3`
Also `t=2.303/K"log"([A]_(10))/([B]_(20))` when `t=10 min`
`10=2.303/K"log" 4/3`
`:. K=2.303/10"log"4/3=0.0288 min^(-1)`
`t_(1//2)=0.693/K=0.693/0.0288=24.06 min`
