| [CH3COOCH3] / mol L–1 | 0.60 | 0.30 | 0.15 |
(i) Show that it follows pseudo first order reaction, as the concentration of water remains constant.
(ii) Calculate the average rate of reaction between the time interval 30 to 60 seconds.

उत्तर
(i) For the hydrolysis of methyl acetate to be a pseudo first-order reaction, the reaction should be first order with respect to ester when [H2O] is constant. The rate constant k for a first order reaction is given by
`k=2.303/t`
where[R]o = Initial concentration of reactant
[R] = Final concentration of reactant
At t1 = 30 s,
`k_1=2.303/30`
At t2 = 60 s,
`k_2=2.303/60`
It can be seen that the rate constant k for the reaction has a constant value under any given time interval. Hence, the given reaction follows the pseudo first-order kinetics.
(ii) Average rate of reaction between the time interval of 30–60 seconds is given by
`Rate=-(Delta[R])/(Deltat)`
`=-((0.15-0.30)/(60-30))`
`=0.15/30=0.005`

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?
Molecularity of a reaction _____________.
Rate law for the reaction \[\ce{A + 2B -> C}\] is found to be Rate = k [A][B]. Concentration of reactant ‘B’ is doubled, keeping the concentration of ‘A’ constant, the value of rate constant will be ______.
For a complex reaction:
(i) order of overall reaction is same as molecularity of the slowest step.
(ii) order of overall reaction is less than the molecularity of the slowest step.
(iii) order of overall reaction is greater than molecularity of the slowest step.
(iv) molecularity of the slowest step is never zero or non interger.
Why molecularity is applicable only for elementary reactions and order is applicable for elementary as well as complex reactions?
Assertion: Order of the reaction can be zero or fractional.
Reason: We cannot determine order from balanced chemical equation.
Assertion: The enthalpy of reaction remains constant in the presence of a catalyst.
Reason: A catalyst participating in the reaction, forms different activated complex and lowers down the activation energy but the difference in energy of reactant and product remains the same.
Assertion: Rate constants determined from Arrhenius equation are fairly accurate for simple as well as complex molecules.
Reason: Reactant molecules undergo chemical change irrespective of their orientation during collision.
