Questions

A reaction is first order in A and second order in B. How is the rate affected when the concentrations of both A and B are doubled?

A reaction is of first order with respect to reactant [A] and second order with regard to reactant [B]. What is the effect on rate of reaction when concentrations of both [A] and [B] are doubled?

Solution

When the concentrations of both A and B are doubled,

Rate = k(2a) (2b)2

= k(2a) (4b2)

= 8 kab2

∴ The reaction rate will increase by a factor of 8.

Assertion: Order and molecularity are same.

Reason: Order is determined experimentally and molecularity is the sum of the stoichiometric coefficient of rate determining elementary step.


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.

Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow:

The rate of reaction is concerned with decrease in the concentration of reactants or increase in the concentration of products per unit of time. It can be expressed as instantaneous rate at a particular instant of time and average rate over a large interval of time. A number of factors such as temperature, concentration of reactants, catalyst affect the rate of reaction. Mathematical representation of rate of a reaction is given by rate law:

Rate = k[A]x [B]y

x and y indicate how sensitive the rate is to change in concentration of A and B. Sum of x + y gives the overall order of a reaction.
When a sequence of elementary reactions gives us the products, the reaction is called complex reaction. Molecularity and order of an elementary reaction are same. Zero-order reactions are relatively uncommon but they occur under special conditions. All natural and artificial radioactive decay of unstable nuclei takes place by first-order kinetics.
