Chemical kinetics is the study of chemical reactions with respect to reaction rates, effect of
various variables, rearrangement of atoms and formation of intermediates. The rate of a
reaction is concerned with decrease in concentration of reactants or increase in the
concentration of products per unit 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 a reaction.
Mathematical representation of rate of a reaction is given by rate law. It has to be determined
experimentally and cannot be predicted. Order of a reaction with respect to a reactant is the
power of its concentration which appears in the rate law equation. The order of a reaction is
the sum of all such powers of concentration of terms for different reactants. Rate constant is
the proportionality factor in the rate law. Rate constant and order of a reaction can be
determined from rate law or its integrated rate equation. Molecularity is defined only for an
elementary reaction. Its values are limited from 1 to 3 whereas order can be 0, 1, 2, 3 or even
a fraction. Molecularity and order of an elementary reaction are same

Questions
a) 50% of the first order reaction is complete in 23 minutes. Calculate the time required to
complete 90% of the reaction (1 mark)

b) Which of the following statement is incorrect in the following? (1 mark)


(i) Order of a reaction may even be zero
(ii) Molecularity of a reaction is always a whole number
(iii) Molecularity and order always have same values for a reaction
(iv) Order of a reaction depends upon the mechanism of the reaction

c) The conversion of molecules X to Y follows third order kinetics. If the concentration of x


is increased to two times, how will it affect the rate of formation of y? (1 mark)

d) For a reaction 2N2O5(g) 4 NO2(g) + O2(g) the rate of formation of NO2(g) is 2.8 x10-3
Ms-1Calculate the rate of disappearance of N2O5(g) (2 marks)

(OR)

For a chemical reaction RP, the variation in concentration ln[R] vs time(s) plot is given as

(i) Predict the order of the reaction

(ii) What is the slope of the curve?

(iii) Write the unit of rate constant for this reaction.
