The following questions are case based questions. Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.
| The rate of a chemical reaction is expressed either in terms of decrease in the concentration of reactants or increase in the concentration of a product per unit time. The rate of the reaction depends upon the nature of reactants, concentration of reactants, temperature, presence of catalyst, surface area of the reactants and presence of light. The rate of reactions is directly related to the concentration of reactant. Rate law states that the rate of reaction depends upon the concentration terms on which the rate of reaction actually depends, as observed experimentally. The sum of powers of the concentration of the reactants in the Rate law expression is called the order of reaction, while the number of reacting species taking part in an elementary reaction which must collide simultaneously, in order to bring about a chemical reaction is called molecularity of the reaction. |
- Answer the following questions: [2]
- What is a rate determining step?
- Define complex reaction.
- What is the effect of temperature on the rate constant of a reaction? [1]
OR
Why is molecularity applicable only for elementary reactions whereas order is applicable for elementary as well as complex reactions?

Chapter:
The following questions are case based questions. Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.
| Phenols undergo electrophilic substitution reactions readily due to the strong activating effect of OH group attached to the benzene ring. Since, the OН group increases the electron density more to oand p-positions, OH group is ortho, para-directing. Reimer-Tiemann reaction is one of the examples of aldehyde group being introduced on the aromatic ring of phenol, ortho to the hydroxyl group. This is a general method used for the ortho-formylation of phenols. |
