The energies of activation for forward and reverse reactions for A2 + B2 ⟶ 2AB are 180 kJ mol-1 and 200 kJ mol-1 respectively. The presence of a catalyst lowers the activation energy of both (forward and reverse) reactions by 100 kJ mol-1. The enthalpy change of the reaction (A2 + B2 ⟶ 2AB) in the presence of a catalyst will be (in kJ mol-1)
-
Solution
Presence of catalyst does not affect enthalpy change of reaction ∆HR = Ef - Eb = 180– 200 = – 20 kJ/mol

In a zero-order reaction for every 10° rise of temperature, the rate is doubled. If the temperature is increased from 10°C to 100°C, the rate of the reaction will become :
-
Solution
The unit of rate constant for a zero order reaction is
-
Solution
Rate = k[A]°
Unit of k = mol L-1 sec-1
Which one of the following statements for the order of a reaction is incorrect ?
-
Solution
order of reaction may be zero, whole number or fractional.
The rate of the reaction 2NO + Cl2 ⟶ 2NOCl is given by the rate equation rate= k [NO]2[Cl2]The value of the rate constant can be increased by:
-
Solution
2NO(g) + Cl2(g) ⇌ 2NOCl(g)Rate = k[NO]2 [Cl]The value of rate constant can be increased by increasing the temperature.
∴ Correct choice :(b)

Solution
In case of(II) and(III), keeping concentration of [A]constant, when the concentration of [B]is doubled,the rate quadruples. Hence it is second order with respect to B. In case of I & IV Keeping the concentration of [B] constant.when the concentration of [A] is increased four times,rate also increases four times.Hence, the order with respect to A is one. hence
Rate = k[A][B]2
For an endothermic reaction, energy of activation is Ea and enthalpy of reaction of ΔH(both of these in kJ/mol).Minimum value of Ea will be.
For the reaction [N2O5(g) ⟶ 2NO2(g) + 1/2 O2(g)]the value of rate of disappearance of N2O5 is given as 6.25× 10-3 mol L-1 s-1. The rate of formation of NO2 and O2 is given respectively as :

Solution
For the reaction A + B ⟶ products, it is observed that:
(1)On doubling the initial concentration of A only, the rate of reaction is also doubled and
(2)On doubling the initial concentrations of both A and B,there is a change by a factor of 8 in the rate of the reaction.The rate of this reaction is given by:
-
Solution
When concentration A is doubled, rate is doubled.Hence order with respect to A is one.When concentrations of both A and B are doubled,rate increases by 8 times hence order with respect to Bis 2.
∴ rate= k[A]1[B]2 Total order = 1 + 2 = 3
