For the reaction:

\[\ce{2A + B -> A2B}\] 

the rate = k[A][B]² with k = 2.0 × 10⁻⁶ mol⁻² L² s⁻¹. Calculate the initial rate of the reaction when [A] = 0.1 mol L⁻¹, [B] = 0.2 mol L⁻¹. Calculate the rate of reaction after [A] is reduced to 0.06 mol L⁻¹.

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

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?

A reaction is first order in A and second order in B. Write the differential rate equation.

A reaction is first order in A and second order in B. How is the rate affected on increasing the concentration of B three times?

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?

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

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

Why is adsorption always exothermic?

Silver atom has completely filled d orbitals (4d¹⁰) in its ground state. How can you say that it is a transition element?

Explain giving reasons:

Transition metals and many of their compounds show paramagnetic behaviour.
