Question

Define the following terms:

Half-life period of reaction (t1/2).

Advertisements

Solution

 Half-life period of a reaction
Half-life period of a reaction is the time taken for half of the reaction to be completed. In other words, the time in which the concentration of a reactant is reduced to half of its original value is called half-life period of the reaction.

(i) only one reacting species is involved in the rate determining step.

(ii) the order and the molecularity of slowest step are equal to one.

(iii) the molecularity of the reaction is one and order is zero.

(iv) both molecularity and order of the reaction are one.


For a complex reaction:

(i) order of overall reaction is same as 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.


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.
