Rate of reaction- It is defined as the rate of change in concentration of reactant or product. Unit of rate is mole\:L^{-1}S^{-1} .

Reactants, R \rightarrow Products, P

nA+mB \rightarrow pC+qD

Rate=-\frac{1}{n}\frac{\Delta \left [ A \right ]}{\Delta t}=-\frac{1}{m}\frac{\Delta \left [ B \right ]}{\Delta t}=+\frac{1}{p}\frac{\Delta \left [ C \right ]}{\Delta t}=+\frac{1}{n}\frac{\Delta \left [ D \right ]}{\Delta t}

NCERT solutions for class 12 chemistry chapter 4 Chemical Kinetics -

Question 4.1 For the reaction R\rightarrow P , the concentration of a reactant change from 0.03M to 0.02M in 25 minutes. Calculate the average rate of reaction using units of time both in minutes and seconds.

Answer :

We know that,

The average rate of reaction = \frac{-\Delta [R]}{\Delta t}

= -\frac{ [R]_{2}-[R]_{1}}{t_{2}-t_{1}}

= \frac{0.03-0.02}{25}Mmin^{-1}

= 4\times 10^{-4}Mmin^{-1}

In seconds we need to divide it by 60. So,

= \frac{4\times 10^{-4}}{60}Msec^{-1}

= 6.67 \times 10^{-6}Msec^{-1}


Question 4.2 In a reaction, 2A\rightarrow Products P, the concentration of A decreases from 0.5 mol L^{-1} to 0.4 mol L^{-1} in 10 minutes. Calculate the rate during this interval?

Answer :

According to the formula of an average rate

= -\frac{1}{2}\frac{\Delta[ A]}{\Delta t} (final concentration - initial conc.)/time interval

= -\frac{1}{2}\frac{[ A]_{2}-[A]_{1}}{t_{2}-t_{1}}

= -\frac{1}{2}\frac{[ 0.4]-[0.5]}{10}

= \frac{0.1}{20}Mmin^{-1}

= 5\times 10^{-3}Mmin^{-1}

Question 4.3 For a reaction, A+B\rightarrow product ; the rate law is given by, r=k\left [ A \right ]^{1/2}\left [ B \right ]^{2} . What is the order of the reaction?

Answer :

Order of reaction = Sum of power of concentration of the reactant in the rate law expressions

So, here the power of A = 0.5

and power of B = 2

order of reaction = 2+0.5 =2.5

Question 4.4 The conversion of molecules X to Y follows second order kinetics. If concentration of X is increased to three times how will it affect the rate of formation of Y ?

Answer :

The order of a reaction means the sum of the power of concentration of the reactant in rate law expression.

So rate law expression for the second-order reaction is R=k[x]^{2} here R = rate

if the concentration is increased to 3 times means x^{'}_{new}=3x

new rate law expression = R^{'}=k[3x]^{2} = 9k[x]^{2} = 9R

the rate of formation of Y becomes 9 times faster than before

Question 4.5 A first order reaction has a rate constant 1.15\times 10^{-3}s^{-1} . How long will 5g of his reactant take to reduce to 3g ?

Answer :

Given data,

initial conc. = 5g

final conc. = 3g

rate const. for first-order = 1.15\times 10^{-3}s^{-1}

We know that for the first-order reaction,

t=\frac{2.308}{k}\log\frac{[R]_{0}}{[R]}

=\frac{2.308}{1.15\times 10^{-3}}\log\frac{5}{3} [log(5/3)= 0.2219]

= 444.38 sec (approx)

Question 4.6 Time required to decompose SO_{2}Cl_{2} to half of its initial amount is 60 minutes. If the decomposition is a first order reaction, calculate the rate constant of the reaction.

Answer :

We know that t(half ) for the first-order reaction is \frac{0.693}{k} = t_{1/2}

and we have given the value of half time t_{1/2} = 60 min

thus, k = \frac{0.693}{60}min^{-1}

= 0.01155 /min

OR = 1.1925 \times 10^{-4}sec

Alternative method

we can also solve this problem by using the first-order reaction equation.

k = \frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{[R]_{0}}{[R]}

put [R]=[R_{0}]/2

Question 4.7 What will be the effect of temperature on rate constant ?

Answer :

The rate constant of the reaction is nearly doubled on rising in 10-degree temperature.

Arrhenius equation depicts the relation between temperature and rates constant.

k = Ae^{-\frac{E_{a}}{RT}}

A= Arrhenius factor

Ea = Activation energy

R = gas constant

T = temperature

Question 4.8 The rate of the chemical reaction doubles for an increase of 10K in absolute temperature from 298K Calculate E_{a} .

Answer :

Given data

T_{1} (initial temperature) = 298K and T_{2} (final temperature)= 308K

And we know that rate of reaction is nearly doubled when temperature rise 10-degree

So, \frac{k_{2}}{k_{1}}=2 and R = 8.314 J/mol/K

now, \log\frac{k_{2}}{k_{1}}=\frac{ E_{a}}{2.303}[\frac{T_{2}-T_{1}}{T_{1}T_{2}}]

On putting the value of given data we get,

\log2=\frac{ E_{a}}{2.303}[\frac{10}{298\times 308}]

Activation energy ( E_{a} ) = \frac{2.303\times 8.314\times 298\times 308\times \log2}{10}Jmol^{-1}

=52.9 KJ/mol(approx)

Question 4.9 The activation energy for the reaction 2HI(g)\rightarrow H_{2}+I_{2}(g) is 209.5 KJ mol^{-1} at 518 K . Calculate the fraction of molecules of reactants having energy equal to or greater than activation energy?

Answer :

We have

Activation energy = 209.5KJ/mol

temperature= 581K

R = 8.314J/mol/K

Now, the fraction of molecules of reactants having energy equal to or greater than activation energy is given as

x= e^{-E_{a}/RT}

taking log both sides we get

\log x = -\frac{E_{a}}{RT}

=\frac{209500Jmol^{-1}}{2.303\times 8.314Jmol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 581}

= 18.832

x = antilog(18.832)

= 1.471 \times 10^{-19}

Question 4.1(i) From the rate expression for the following reactions, determine their order of reaction and the dimensions of the rate constants.

3NO(g)\rightarrow N_{2}O\: \: Rate= k\left [ NO \right ]^{2}

Answer :

Given pieces of information

Rate = k[NO]^{2}

so the order of the reaction is 2

The dimension of k = Rate/[NO]^{2}

\\=molL^{-1}s^{-1}/mol^{2}L^{-2}\\ =L\ mol^{-1}\ s ^{-1}


Question 4.1(ii) From the rate expression for the following reactions determine their order of reaction and the dimensions of the rate constants.

(ii) H_{2}O_{2}(aq)+3I^{-}(aq)+2H^{+}\rightarrow 2H_{2}O(I)+I_{3}^{-} Rate=k\left [ H_{2}O_{2}\right ]\left [ I^{-} \right ]

Answer :

Given rate = k[H_{2}O_{2}][I^{-}]

therefore the order of the reaction is 2

Dimension of k = rate/[H_{2}O_{2}][I^{-}]

\\=mol\ L^{-1}\ s^{-1}/(mol\ L^{-1})(mol\ L^{-1})\\ =L\ mol^{-1}\ s^{-1}

Question 4.1(iii) From the rate expression for the following reactions, determine their order of reaction and the dimensions of the rate constants.

CH_{3}CHO(g)\rightarrow CH_{4}(g)+CO(g)\: \: Rate=k\left [ CH_{3} CHO\right ]^{3/2}

Answer :

Given Rate = k[CH_{3}CHO]^{3/2}

therefore the order of the reaction is 3/2

and the dimension of k =Rate/[CH_{3}CHO]^{3/2}

\\=molL^{-1}s^{-1}/(molL^{-1})^{3/2}\\ =molL^{-1}s^{-1}/mol^{3/2}L^{-3/2}\\ =L^{1/2}\ mol^{-1/2}\ s^{-1}

Question 4.2 For the reaction:
2A+B\rightarrow A_{2}B
the rate = k\left [ A \right ]\left [ B \right ]^{2} with k=2.0\times 10^{-6}mol^{-2}L^{2}s^{-1} . Calculate the initial rate of the reaction when \left [ A \right ]=0.1 mol L^{-1}\: \: ,\left [ B \right ]=0.2 mol L^{-1} . Calculate the rate of reaction after \left [ A \right ] is reduced to 0.06molL ^{-1} .

Answer :

The initial rate of reaction =

rate = k[A][B]^{2}

substitute the given values of [A], [B] and k,

rate = 2\times 10^{-6}\times 0.1\times (0.2)^{2}

=8 \times 10^{-9}mol^{-2}\ L^{2}\ s^{-1}

When [A] is reduced from 0.1 mol/L to 0.06 mol/L [A^{'}=0.06]

So, conc. of A reacted = 0.1-0.06 = 0.04 mol/L

and conc. of B reacted = 1/2(0.04) = 0.02mol/L

conc. of B left = (0.2-0.02) = 0.18 mol/L [B^{'}=0.18]

Now, the rate of the reaction is (R) = k[A^{'}][B^{'}]

=2\times 10^{-6}\times 0.06\times (0.18)^{2}

= 3.89\times 10^{-6} mol L^{-1}s^{-1}

Question 4.3 The decomposition of NH_{3} on platinum surface is zero order reaction. What are the rates of production of N_{2} and H_{2} if k=2.5\times 10^{-4}mol^{-1}L s^{-1} ?

Answer :

The decomposition of NH_{3} on the platinum surface reaction

2NH_{3}(s)\overset{Pt}{\rightarrow}N_{2}(g)+3H_{2}(g)

therefore,

Rate = -\frac{1}{2}\frac{d[NH_{3}]}{dt}=\frac{d[N_{2}]}{dt}=\frac{1}{3}\frac{d[H_{2}]}{dt}

For zero order reaction rate = k

therefore, -\frac{1}{2}\frac{d[NH_{3}]}{dt}=\frac{d[N_{2}]}{dt}=\frac{1}{3}\frac{d[H_{2}]}{dt}=k

So \frac{d[N_{2}]}{dt}= 2.5\times 10^{-4}mol\ L^{-1}\ s^{-1}

and the rate of production of dihydrogen (H_{2}) = 3 \times (2.5 \times 10^{-4} ) mol\ L^{-1}\ s^{-1}

= 7.5 \times 10^{-4} mol\ L^{-1}\ s^{-1}

Question 4.5 Mention the factors that affect the rate of a chemical reaction.

Answer :

The following factors that affect the rate of reaction-

  • the concentration of reactants
  • temperature, and
  • presence of catalyst

Question 4.6(i) A reaction is second order with respect to a reactant. How is the rate of reaction affected if the concentration of the reactant is doubled

Answer :

Let assume the concentration of reactant be x

So, rate of reaction, R =k[x]^{2}

Now, if the concentration of reactant is doubled then x\rightarrow 2x . So the rate of reaction would be R = k[2x]^{2} = 4kx^{2}=4R

Hence we can say that the rate of reaction increased by 4 times.

Question 4.6(ii) A reaction is second order with respect to a reactant. How is the rate of reaction affected if the concentration of the reactant is reduced to half ?

Answer :

Let assume the concentration of reactant be x

So, rate of reaction, R = k[x]^{2}

Now, if the concentration of reactant is doubled then x\rightarrow \frac{x}{2} . So the rate of reaction would be R = k[\frac{x}{2}]^{2} = \frac{kx^{2}}{4}=\frac{R}{4}

Hence we can say that the rate of reaction reduced to 1/4 times.

Question 4.7 What is the effect of temperature on the rate constant of a reaction? How can this effect of temperature on rate constant be represented quantitatively?

Answer :

The rate constant is nearly double when there is a 10-degree rise in temperature in a chemical reaction.

effect of temperature on rate constant be represented quantitatively by Arrhenius equation,

K =Ae^{-E_{a}/RT} where k is rate constant

A is Arrhenius factor

R is gas constant

T is temperature and

E_{a} is the activation energy

15947445359861594744535593

(i) Calculate the average rate of reaction between the time interval 30 to 60 seconds.

Answer :

The average rate of reaction between the time 30 s to 60 s is expressed as-

R = \frac{d[ester]}{dt}

\\=(0.31-0.17)/60-30\\ =0.14/30=4.67\times 10^{-3} mol\ L^{-}\ s^{-}

Question 4.9(i) A reaction is first order in A and second order in B.

(i)Write the differential rate equation.

Answer :

the reaction is first order in A and second order in B. it means the power of A is one and power of B is 2

The differential rate equation will be-

-\frac{d[R]}{dt}=k[A][B]^{2}

Question 4.9(ii) A reaction is first order in A and second order in B.

(ii) How is the rate affected on increasing the concentration of B three times?

Answer :

If the concentration of [B] is increased by 3 times, then

-\frac{d[R]}{dt}=k[A][3B]^{2}

=9k[A][B]^{2}

Therefore, the rate of reaction will increase 9 times.

Question 4.9(iii) A reaction is first order in A and second order in B.

(iii) How is the rate affected when the concentrations of both A and B are doubled?

Answer :

If the concentration of [A] and[B] is increased by 2 times, then

-\frac{d[R]}{dt}=k[2A][2B]^{2}

=8k[A][B]^{2}

Therefore, the rate of reaction will increase 8 times.

Question 4.10 In a reaction between A and B, the initial rate of reaction (r0) was measure for different initial concentrations of A and B as given below:

1649395389830

What is the order of the reaction with respect to A and B?

Answer :

we know that
rate law ( r_{0} ) = k[A]^{x}[B]^{y}
As per data

\\5.07\times 10^{-5} =k[0.2]^{x}[0.3]^{y}\\ 5.07\times 10^{-5}=k[0.2]^{x}[0.1]^{y}\\ 1.43\times 10^{-4}=k[0.4]^{x}[0.05]^{y} these are the equation 1, 2 and 3 respectively

Now, divide eq.1 by equation2, we get
1= (0.3/0.1)^{y}
from here we calculate that y = 0

Again, divide eq. 2 by Eq. 3, we get
Since y =0 also substitute the value of y
So,
= (\frac{1.43}{0.507})= (\frac{0.4}{0.2})^{x}
= 2.821=2^{x}

taking log both side we get,

x = \frac{\log2.821}{\log2}
= 1.496
= approx 1.5
Hence the order of reaction w.r.t A is 1.5 and w.r.t B is 0(zero)

Question 4.11 The following results have been obtained during the kinetic studies of the reaction:
2A + B \rightarrow C + D

15947446824901594744682077

Determine the rate law and the rate constant for the reaction .

Answer :

Let assume the rate of reaction wrt A is x and wrt B is y . So, the rate of reaction is expressed as-
Rate = k[A]^{x}[B]^{y}

According to given data,
\\6\times 10^{-3}=k[0.1]^{x}[0.1]^{y}\\ 7.2\times 10^{-2}=k[0.3]^{x}[0.2]^{y}\\ 2.88\times 10^{-2} =k[0.3]^{x}[0.4]^{y}\\ 2.4\times 10^{-2} =k[0.4]^{x}[0.1]^{y} these are the equation 1, 2, 3 and 4 respectively

Now, divide the equation(iv) by (i) we get,
4 = (0.4/0.1)^{x}
from here we calculate that x =1

Again, divide equation (iii) by (ii)
4 =(0.4/0.2)^{y}
from here we can calculate the value of y is 2

Thus, the rate law is now, Rate = k[A][B]^{2}
So, k = rate/[A][B]^{2}
\\= 6\times 10^{-3}/(0.1)\times (0.1)^{2}\\ =6\ L^{2}\ mol^{-2}\ min^{-1}

Hence the rate constant of the reaction is =6\ L^{2}\ mol^{-2}\ min^{-1}

Answer :

The given reaction is first order wrt A and zero order in wrt B. So, the rate of reaction can be expressed as;
Rate = k[A][B]^{0}
Rate = k[A]

from exp 1,
2\times 10^{-2}=k(0.1)
k = 0.2 per min.

from experiment 2nd,
4\times 10^{-2}=0.2[A] \\
[A] = 0.2\ mol/L

from experiment 3rd,
rate =(0.2\ min^{-1})\times (0.4\ mol/L)
= 0.08\ mol\ L^{-1}\ min^{-1}

from the experiment 4th,

2\times 10^{-2}=0.2*[A]
from here [A] = 0.1 mol/L

Question 4.13 (1) Calculate the half-life of a first order reaction from their rate constants given below:

= 0.35 min (approx)

Question 4.13 (3) Calculate the half-life of a first order reaction from their rate constants given below:
4 years ^{-1}

Answer :

= 0.173 year (approximately)

Question 4.14 The half-life for radioactive decay of ^{14} C is 5730 years. An archaeological artifact containing wood had only 80% of the 14C found in a living tree. Estimate the age of the sample.

Answer :

Given ,
half-life of radioactive decay = 5730 years
So, t_{1/2}= 0.693/k
k = 0.693/5730 per year

we know that, for first-order reaction,
t = \frac{2.303}{k} \log\frac{[R_{0}]}{[R]}
t = \frac{2.303}{.693/5730} \log\frac{100}{80}
= 1845 years (approximately)

Thus, the age of the sample is 1845 years

15947448045441594744803921

What is the rate law ?

Answer :

Here, the reaction is in first order reaction because its log graph is linear.
Thus rate law can be expessed as Rate = k[N_{2}O_{5}]

Question 4.15 (5) The experimental data for decomposition of N_2O_5 [2N_2O_5 \rightarrow 4NO_2 + O_2] in gas phase at 318K are given below:

15947448152801594744814878

Calculate the rate constant.

Answer :

From the log graph,

the slope of the graph is = \frac{-2.46-1.79}{3200}
= -k/2.303 ..(from log equation)

On comparing both the equation we get,

-k/2.303 = -0.67/3200
k= 3200\times (0.67/3200)
k= 4.82 \times 10^{-4}\ s^{-1}

Question 4.15(7) The rate constant for a first order reaction is 60 s^{-1} . How much time will it take to reduce the initial concentration of the reactant to its 1/16th value?

Answer :

We know that,
for first order reaction,
t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{[R]_{0}}{[R]}
\\=\frac{2.303}{60}\log\frac{1}{1/16}\\ =\frac{2.303}{60} \log2^{4}
=4.6 \times 10^{-2} s (nearly)

Hence the time required is =4.6 \times 10^{-2} s

Question 4.17 During nuclear explosion, one of the products is ^{90} Sr with half-life of 28.1 years. If 1 \mu g of ^{90}Sr was absorbed in the bones of a newly born baby instead of calcium, how much of it will remain after 10 years and 60 years if it is not lost metabolically.

Answer :

Given,
half life = 21.8 years
\therefore\ k=0.693/t_{1/2}
= 0.693/21.8

and, t = \frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{[R]_{0}}{[R]}

by putting the value we get,

10= \frac{2.303}{0.693/21.8}\log\frac{1}{[R]}
\log[R] = -\frac{10\times 0.693}{2.303\times 21.8}
taking antilog on both sides,
[R] = antilog(-0.1071)
= 0.781 \mu g

Thus 0.781 \mu g of {Sr}^{90} will remain after given 10 years of time.

Again,

15947450926031594745092246
Thus 0.2278 \mu g of {Sr}^{90} will remain after 60 years.

Question 4.18 For a first order reaction, show that time required for 99% completion is twice the time required for the completion of 90% of reaction.

Answer :

case 1-

for 99% complition,
t^{1} = \frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{100}{100-99}
= \frac{2.303}{k}\log100
=2\times (\frac{2.303}{k})

CASE- II
for 90% complition,

t^{2}=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{100}{100-90}
=\frac{2.303}{k}\log10
=(\frac{t^{1}}{2})

t^{1}=2t^{2}
Hence proved.

Question 4.19 A first order reaction takes 40 min for 30% decomposition. Calculate t_{1/2}

Answer :

For the first-order reaction,

t =\frac{2.303}{k}\log \frac{[R]_{0}}{[R]}
k =\frac{2.303}{40}\log \frac{100}{100-30} (30% already decomposed and remaining is 70%)

=8.918\times 10^{-3} min^{-1}

therefore half life = 0.693/k
= 0.693/8.918\times 10^{-3}
= 77.7 (approx)

Question 4.20 For the decomposition of azoisopropane to hexane and nitrogen at 543K, the following data are obtained.

15947455515361594745548735

Calculate the rate constant.

Answer :

Decomposition is represented by equation-

15947457413321594745740908
After t time, the total pressure p_{T} = p_{0}-p+(p+p) = p_{0}+p

So, p = p_{t}-p_{0}

thus, p_{0}-p = 2p_{0}-p_{t}

for first order reaction,

k= \frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{p_{0}}{p_{0}-p}
= \frac{2.303}{360}\log\frac{p_{0}}{2p_{0}-p_{t}}
now putting the values of pressures,

when t =360sec

= \frac{2.303}{360}\log\frac{35}{2*35-54}
= 2.175\times 10^{-3}s^{-1}

when t = 270sec

= \frac{2.303}{270}\log\frac{35}{2*35-54}
= 2.235\times 10^{-3}s^{-1}

So, k_{avg}=k_{1}+k_{2}/2
=2.21\times 10^{-3}\ s^{-1}

Question 4.21 The following data were obtained during the first order thermal decomposition of SO_2 Cl_2 at a constant volume.
( SO_2Cl_2 g) \rightarrow SO_2 (g) + Cl_2 (g)

15947452128701594745210169

Calculate the rate of the reaction when total pressure is 0.65 atm.

Answer :

The thermal decomposition of SO_{2}Cl_{2} is shown here;
15947452231641594745222570

After t time, the total pressure p_{t} = p_{0}-p+(p+p) = p_{0}+p

So, p = p_{t}-p_{0}

thus, p_{0}-p = 2p_{0}-p_{t}

for first order reaction,

k= \frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{p_{0}}{p_{0}-p}
= \frac{2.303}{360}\log\frac{p_{0}}{2p_{0}-p_{t}}
now putting the values of pressures, when t = 100s
k = \frac{2.303}{100}\log\frac{0.5}{2*0.5-0.6}
= 2.231 \times 10^{-3}\ s^{-1}

when p_{t} = 0.65\ atm

p = p_{t}-p_{0}
= 0.65 - 0.5
= 0.15 atm

So, p(_{SO_{2}Cl_{2}}) = p_{0}-p
= 0.5 - 0.15
= 0.35 atm

Thus, rate of reaction, when the total pressure is 0.65 atm
rate = k( p(_{SO_{2}Cl_{2}}) )
= 2.31\times 10^{-3}\times 0.35
= 7.8 \times 10^{-4}\ atm\ s^{-1}

Question 4.22 The rate constant for the decomposition of N2O5 at various temperatures
is given below:

15947452429101594745242519

Draw a graph between ln k and 1/T and calculate the values of A and
E_a . Predict the rate constant at 30° and 50°C.

Answer :

From the above data,

T/ C^{0} 0 20 40 60 80
T/K 273 293 313 333 353
1/T / K^{-1} ( \times 10^{-3} ) 3.66 3.41 3.19 3.0 2.83
10^{5}*K/S^{-} 0.0787 1.70 25.7 178 2140
ln\ K -7.147 -4.075 -1.359 -0.577 3.063

15947452580691594745257653
Slope of line = \frac{y2-y2}{x2-x1} = -12.30\ K

According to Arrhenius equations,

Slope = -E_{a}/R
E_{a}= 12.30 \times 8.314
= 102.27 KJ mol^{-1}

Again,
15947452776351594745277231
When T = 30 +273 = 303 K and 1/T =0.0033K
\ln k= -2.8

\therefore k = 6.08\times 10^{-2}\ s^{-1}

When T = 50 + 273 = 323 K and 1/T = 3.1 \times 10^{-3} K
\ln k = -0.5
\therefore k = 0.607 per sec

Question 4.23 The rate constant for the decomposition of hydrocarbons is 2.418 \times 10 ^{-5} s ^{-1} at 546 K. If the energy of activation is 179.9 kJ/mol, what will be the value of pre-exponential factor.

Answer :

Given that,
k = 2.418 \times 10 ^{-5} s ^{-1}
E_{a} = 179.9 KJ/mol
T(temp) = 546K

According to Arrhenius equation,

k=Ae^{-E_{a}/RT}
taking log on both sides,
\log k = \log A - \frac{E_{a}}{2.303 RT}

\log A =\log k + \frac{E_{a}}{2.303 RT}

=\log (2.418\times 10^{-5}) + \frac{179.9\times 10^{3}}{2.303 \times 8.314 \times 546}

= (0.3835 - 5) + 17.2082
= 12.5917
Thus A = antilog (12.5917)
A = 3.9 \times 10^{12} per sec (approx)

Question 4.24 Consider a certain reaction A \rightarrow Products with k = 2.0 \times 10 ^{-2 } s ^{-1} . Calculatethe concentration of A remaining after 100 s if the initial concentration of A is 1.0 mol L^{-1}

Answer :

Given that,
k = =2\times 10^{-2}
t = 100 s
[A]_0= 1\ mol\ L^{-1}
Here the unit of k is in per sec, it means it is a first-order reaction.
therefore,
k = \frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{[A]_o}{[A]}
\\2\times 10^{-2} = \frac{2.303}{100}\log\frac{1}{[A]}\\ 2\times 10^{-2} = -\frac{2.303}{100}\log[A]\\ \log[A]=-\frac{2}{2.303}\\
\\A = anti\log\frac{-2}{2.303}\\ A= 0.135 mol\ L^{-1}

Hence the concentration of rest test sample is 0.135 mol/L

Question 4.25 Sucrose decomposes in acid solution into glucose and fructose according to the first order rate law, with t _{1/2 } = 3.00 hours. What fraction of sample of sucrose remains after 8 hours ?

Answer :

For first order reaction,

k = \frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{[R]_{0}}{[R]}

given that half life = 3 hrs ( t_{1/2} )

Therefore k = 0.693/half-life
= 0.231 per hour

Now,

\\0.231 = \frac{2.303}{8}\log\frac{[R]_{0}}{[R]}\\ \log\frac{[R]_{0}}{[R]} = 0.231\times \frac{8}{2.203}
= antilog (0.8024)
= 6.3445

[R]_{0}/[R] = 6.3445

[R]/[R]_{0} = 0.157 (approx)

Therefore fraction of sample of sucrose remains after 8 hrs is 0.157

Question 4.26 The decomposition of hydrocarbon follows the equation k=(4.51011s-1)e-28000K/T . Calculate E_{a}

Answer :

The Arrhenius equation is given by
k=Ae^{-E_{a}/RT} .................................(i)
given equation,
k = (4.5 × 1011s^{-1}) e^{-28000K/T} ............................(ii)

by comparing equation (i) & (ii) we get,

A= 4.51011 per sec
E_{a}/RT =28000/T
Activation energy = 28000 \times (R = 8.314)
= 232.792 KJ/mol

Question 4.27 The rate constant for the first order decomposition of H_2O_2 is given by the following equation:
\log k = 14.34 - 1.25 \times 10 ^ 4K/T .

Calculate E_a for this reaction and at what temperature will its half-period be 256 minutes?

Answer :

The Arrhenius equation is given by
k=Ae^{-E_{a}/RT}

taking log on both sides,

\log k = \log A -\frac{E_{a}}{2.303RT} ....................(i)
given equation,

\log k = 14.34 - 1.25 \times 10 ^ 4K/T .....................(ii)

On comparing both equation we get,

E_{a}/2.303R=1.25 \times 10^{4}

activation energy
\\=1.25 \times 10^{4} \times 2.303 \times 8.314\\ =239.34\ KJ/mol

half life ( t_{1/2} ) = 256 min

k = 0.693/256
k = 4.51\times 10^{-5} s^{-1}

With the help of equation (ii),

\log4.51\times 10^{-5} s^{-1} = 14.34-\frac{1.25\times 10^{4}}{T}

\frac{1.25\times 10^{4}}{T} = 18.686
T = \frac{1.25\times 10^{4}}{18.686}

= 669 (approx)

Question 4.28 The decomposition of A into product has value of k as 4.5 \times 10 ^3 s ^{-1} at 10°Cand energy of activation 60 kJ mol–1. At what temperature would k be 1.5 \times 10 ^4 s ^{-1} ?

Answer :

The decomposition of A into a product has a value of k as 4.5 \times 10 ^3 s ^{-1} at 10°C and energy of activation 60 kJ mol–1.

K1 = 4.5 \times 10 ^3 s ^{-1}
K2 = 1.5 \times 10 ^4 s ^{-1}

E_a = 60 kJ mol–1

K2 = 1.5 \times 10 ^4 s ^{-1}

log\frac{K_2}{K_1}=\frac{E_a(T_2-T_1)}{2.303RT_1T_2}

log(\frac{1.5\times 10^{4}}{4.5\times 10^{3}})=\frac{60(T_2-283)}{2.303\times R\times 283\times T_2}

log(\frac{150}{45})=\frac{60(T_2-283)}{5418.61\times T_2}

log150-log45=\frac{60T_2-16980}{5418.61\times T_2}

2.176-1.653=\frac{60T_2-16980}{5418.61\times T_2}

0.5229=\frac{60T_2-16980}{5418.61\times T_2}

T_2=\frac{16980}{2733.4}

T_2=6.1K

Question 4.29 The time required for 10% completion of a first order reaction at 298K is equal to that required for its 25% completion at 308K. If the value of A is 4 \times 10 ^{10} s ^{-1} . Calculate k at 318K and Ea.

Answer :

We know that,

for a first order reaction-

t = \frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}

Case 1
At temp. = 298 K
t = \frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{100}{90}
= 0.1054/k

Case 2
At temp = 308 K

t' = \frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{100}{75}
= 2.2877/k'
As per the question
t' = t
K'/K = 2.7296

From Arrhenius equation,

15947453267681594745326105
= 76640.096 J /mol
=76.64 KJ/mol


k at 318 K
we have , T =318K
A= 4 \times 10^{10}

Now \log k = \log A- \frac{E_{a}}{2.303RT}
After putting the calue of given variable, we get

\log k = -1.9855
on takingantilog we get,

k = antilog(-1.9855)

= 1.034 \times 10^{-2}\ s^{-1}

Question 4.30 The rate of a reaction quadruples when the temperature changes from 293 K to 313 K. Calculate the energy of activation of the reaction assuming that it does not change with temperature.

Answer :

From the Arrhenius equation,

\log\frac{k_{2}}{k_{1}}=\frac{E_{a}}{2.303R}(\frac{T_{2}-T_{1}}{T_{1}T_{2}}) ...................................(i)
it is given that k_{2}=4k_{1}
T1= 293 K

T2 = 313 K
Putting all these values in equation (i) we get,

\log 4 =\frac{E_{a}}{2.303 \times 8.314}(\frac{313-293}{313 \times 293})

15947453794861594745378630

Activation Energy = 52.86 KJ/mo l
This is the required activation energy
