1. In the formation of sulphur trioxide by the contact process 2SO2(g) + O2(g) → 2SO3(g) The rate of reaction is
expressed as
d (O 2 )
– = 2.5 × 10– 4 mol L–1 sec–1. The rate of disappearance of (SO2) will be –
dt
(1) 5 × 10–4 mol L–1 S–1 (2) – 2.25 × 10– 4 mol L–1 S –1
(3) 3.75 × 10– 4 mol L–1 S–1 (4) 50.0 × 10– 4 mol L–1 S–1
3. For a reaction of the type A + B → products, it is observed that doubling the concentration of A causes the
reaction rate to be four times as great but doubling the amount of B does not effect the rate. The rate equation
is -
(1) Rate = K [A] [B] (2) Rate = K[A]2 (3) Rate = K[A]2[B] (4) Rate = K[A]2[B]2
4. The reaction N2O5 (in CCl4) → 2NO2 + 1/2O2(g) is first order in N2O5 with rate constant
6.2 × 10–4S–1. What is the value of rate of reaction when [N2O5] = 1.25 mole L–1 ?
(1) 7.75 × 10–4 mol L–1 S–1 (2) 6.35 × 10–3 mol L–1 S–1
(3) 5.15 × 10–5 mol L–1 S–1 (4) 3.85 × 10–4 mole L–1 S–1
5. For the reaction A + B → Products, it is found that the order of A is 2 and of B is 3 in the rate expression.
When concentration of both is doubled the rate will increase to –
(1) 10 (2) 6 (3) 32 (4) 16
6. The rate constant of a first order reaction is 4 × 10 –3 sec–1. At a reactant concentration of 0.02 M, the rate of
reaction would be –
(1) 8 × 10– 5 M sec–1 (2) 4 × 10–3 M sec–1
–1
(3) 2 × 10 M sec –1 (4) 4 × 10–1 M sec–1
7. 2NO + 2H 2 ⎯⎯→ N2 + 2H2O. The experimental rate law for above reaction is, Rate = k [NO] 2 [H 2]. When time
is in minutes and the concentration is in moles/L, the units for k are

9. Reaction A → B follows second order kinetics. Doubling the concentration of A will increase the rate of
formation of B by a factor of :
(1) 1/4 (2) 1/2 (3) 2 (4) 4
10. For the reaction, 2A + B → Products, the following, initial rates were obtained at various initial concentrations :
[A] [B] Rate (mol l–1 sec–1)
0.1 M 0.2 M 0.46
0.2 M 0.2 M 1.84
0.2 M 0.1 M 0.92
The rate law for the reaction is
(1) Rate = k[A]2 [B]0 (2) Rate = k [A] [B] (3) Rate = k[A]2 [B] (4) Rate = k [A] [B]2
