## Solutions:

1. C

Suppose ${\gamma _1},{\gamma _2},{\gamma _3}$are the rate of three reactions of the first second, and third-order, and k is the rate constant all the three reactions will be

${\gamma _1} = K[A]$

${\gamma _2} = K{[A]^2}$

${\gamma _3} = K{[A]^3}$

[A] being the concentration of the reaction A in mole per lit, then

For unity[A] =${\gamma _1} = {\gamma _2} = {\gamma _3}$

2. A

Suppose ${\gamma _1},{\gamma _2},{\gamma _3}$are the rate of three reactions of  first second, and third-order, and k is the rate constant all the three reactions will be

${\gamma _1} = K[A]$

${\gamma _2} = K{[A]^2}$

${\gamma _3} = K{[A]^3}$

[A] being the concentration of the reaction A in mole per lit, then

For A lesser than 1  =${\gamma _1} > {\gamma _2} > {\gamma _3}$

3. B

According to the Arrhenius equation, $K = A{e^{ - {E_a}/RT}}$ where, ${e^{ - {E_a}/RT}}$ represents a fraction of molecule having energy equal to or greater than activation energy, Ea.

4. A

Half-life, ${\text{(}}{{\text{t}}_{{\text{1/2}}}}{\text{) \alpha }}{{\text{a}}^{{\text{1 - n}}}}$

Here, half-life is independent of the initial concentration, and the order of the reaction is 1

5. B

Note: For strong electrolytes, van't Hoff factor (i) is equal to the number of ions.

$\mathrm{Ba}(\mathrm{OH})_{2} \rightarrow \mathrm{Ba}^{2+}+2 \mathrm{OH}^{+}$

The number of ions is equal to $(1+2=3)$

Use the van't Hoff factor (i) formula

$\alpha=\frac{i-1}{n-1}$

$1=\frac{i-1}{3-1}$

$\mathrm{i}=2+1$

$\mathrm{i}=3$

6. A, B, C

The reactions in which the reactant forms an intermediate and the intermediate forms the product in one or many subsequent reactions are called consecutive reactions

7. B, D

Radioactive decay follows the first-order kinetic number of half-lives

Number of half-lives

${\text{(n) = }}\dfrac{{{\text{total time}}}}{{{\text{Half - life}}}}{\text{ = }}\dfrac{{{\text{12y}}}}{{{\text{24y}}}}{\text{ = 0}}{\text{.5}}$

$\dfrac{{{\text{Amount of lead taken}}}}{{{{\text{2}}^{\text{n}}}}}{\text{ = }}\dfrac{{\text{4}}}{{\sqrt {\text{2}} }}{\text{ = 2}}{\text{.828g}}$

Amount of lead decayed = amount taken – left amount

= 4-2.828 = 1.172 g

Percentage of the lead decay is $\dfrac{{1.172 \times 100}}{4} = 43.00\%$

8. a, b

In the given time, 1 hr is $5{t_{1/2}}$ for the substance P and $4{t_{1/2}}$for the substance Q

The fraction of p left after $5{t_{1/2}}$ = $\dfrac{1}{{{2^5}}} = \dfrac{1}{{32}}$

The fraction of p le16ft after $4{t_{1/2}}$ = $\dfrac{1}{{{2^4}}} = \dfrac{1}{{16}}$

Ration of moles left = $\dfrac{1}{{32}}:\dfrac{1}{{16}}$=1:2

9. b, c

In the given time, 1 hr is $3{t_{1/2}}$ for the substance P and $2{t_{1/2}}$for the substance Q

The fraction of p left after $3{t_{1/2}}$ = $\dfrac{1}{{{2^3}}} = \dfrac{1}{8}$

The fraction of p le16ft after $2{t_{1/2}}$ = $\dfrac{1}{{{2^2}}} = \dfrac{1}{4}$

Ration of moles left = $\dfrac{1}{8}:\dfrac{1}{4}$=1:2

The ratio of activity

$\dfrac{{{\lambda _P}{N_P}}}{{{\lambda _Q}{N_Q}}} = \dfrac{{{N_P}{{\left( {{t_{1/2}}} \right)}_P}}}{{{N_Q}{{\left( {{t_{1/2}}} \right)}_Q}}} = \dfrac{{\left( {1/8} \right) \times 30}}{{\left( {1/4} \right) \times 20}} = 3:4$

10. a c

The rate law of the reaction is given as rate = $k{\left[ X \right]^{3/2}}{\left[ Y \right]^{ - 1/2}}$

Order with respect to X is $\dfrac{3}{2}$

Order with respect to Y is $\dfrac{-1}{2}$

The overall order of the reaction is $\dfrac{3}{2}-(\dfrac{-1}{2})=1$

If y is taken largely in excess the rate is independent of its concentration, as [Y] is taken as constant during the course of the reaction.

The rate equation when X is isolated is rate= $k{\left[ X \right]^{3/2}}$

11. a, c

$rat{e_p} = {k_p}\left[ {2mol{L^{ - 1}}} \right]$

$rat{e_q} = {k_q}{\left[ {2mol{L^{ - 1}}} \right]^2} = {k_p}{\left[ {2mol{L^{ - 1}}} \right]^2}$.

The ratio of the rate of two reactions (p) and (q) is $\dfrac{{Rat{e_p}}}{{Rat{e_q}}} = \dfrac{{{k_p}[2mol{L^{ - 1}}]}}{{{k_q}{{[2mol{L^{ - 1}}]}^2}}} = \dfrac{1}{2}$

The ratio of the rates =1: 2

12. A, B

ρ = 4.5   ∴ ρ > 1

We know, $K_{e x p} / K_{\text {collison }}=\rho$

$K_{\text {exp }}=\rho A e^{-E a} / R T$

$A_{e x p}=\rho A$

$\therefore A_{e x p}>A$

The experimentally determined value of the frequency factor is higher than that predicted by the Arrhenius equation.

13. B, C, D

According to Arrhenius's Equation

$K{\text{ }} = {\text{ }}A{e^{ - Ea}}/RT$

Therefore, at T → 0

${e^{ - Ea}}/RT \rightarrow 0$

Therefore, rate constant decreases with temperature.

And as T → ∞ K → A.

Thus, as temperature increases, the rate constant increases and approaches a value close to the Arrhenius constant.

Now

$dK/dT = - EaA/RT{\text{ }}{e^{ - Ea}}/RT$

Hence, the Higher the activation energy higher is the required temperature for reaction to occur, and hence greater the temperature dependency of the rate constant.

14. B, C, D

${ }_{92} \mathrm{U}^{238} \longrightarrow{ }_{90} \mathrm{Th}^{234}+{ }_{2} \mathrm{He}^{4}$

${ }_{90} \mathrm{Th}^{234} \longrightarrow{ }_{91} \mathrm{~Pa}^{234}+{ }_{-1} \mathrm{e}^{0}$

${ }_{91} \mathrm{~Pa}^{234} \longrightarrow{ }_{92} \mathrm{Z}^{234}+{ }_{-1} \mathrm{e}^{0}$

${ }_{92} \mathrm{Z}^{234} \longrightarrow{ }_{90} \mathrm{Th}^{230}+{ }_{2} \mathrm{He}^{4}$

$\therefore \quad x_{1}=\alpha ; x_{2}=x_{3}={ }_{-1} \beta^{0} ; x_{4}=\alpha$

15. B, C

$\dfrac{{\Delta [{N_2}]}}{{\Delta t}} = 0.02mol{L^{ - 1}}{s^{ - 1}}$

$= \dfrac{1}{2}\dfrac{{\Delta [N{H_3}]}}{{\Delta t}}$

The rate of appearance of ammonia is $0.004mol{L^{ - 1}}{S^{ - 1}}$ it is also given as $0.68g{L^{ - 1}}{S^{ - 1}}$

16. A,B,C,D

100-2x+2x+x=100+x=120mm

X=20mm or 2x= 40mm

The decrease in pressure of reactant substance, ${P_2}Q$ in 5mins, is 40 mm

The rate decomposition of ${P_2}Q$=$\dfrac{{{\text{40}}}}{{\text{5}}}{\text{ = 8mm mi}}{{\text{n}}^{{\text{ - 1}}}}{\text{ = 0}}{\text{.133mm }}{{\text{s}}^{{\text{ - 1}}}}$

17. B, C, D

$\begin{array}{lllll}& 2 X & y & & \\t=0 & 2 & 1 & & \\ t=50 & 2-2 \times 0.5 & 1-0.5 & & \\& \text { lmole } & 0.5 &\end{array}$

$rate = - \dfrac{1}{2}\dfrac{{d[X]}}{{dt}} = - \dfrac{{d[Y]}}{{dt}} = k[X]$

$- \dfrac{{d[X]}}{{dt}} = 2k[X] = k[X]$

Half-life t=50s

$2k = \dfrac{{0.693L}}{{50}}$

Rate constant, (k)=$\dfrac{{0.6932}}{{100}} = 6.932 \times {10^{ - 3}}$

${t_{\dfrac{1}{2}}} = 50s$

$- \dfrac{{d[X]}}{{dt}} = 2k[X]$

At 50 s $- \dfrac{{d[X]}}{{dt}} = 2 \times 6.932 \times {10^{ - 03}} \times 1$

$= 13.86 \times {10^{ - 3}}mol{L^{ - 1}}{s^{ - 1}}$

At 50s, $- \dfrac{{d[X]}}{{dt}} = 13.86 \times {10^{ - 3}}mol{L^{ - 1}}{s^{ - 1}}$

At 100 s, $- \dfrac{{d[Y]}}{{dt}} = 3.46 \times {10^{ - 3}}mol{L^{ - 1}}{s^{ - 1}}$

## FAQs on Chemical Kinetics Class 12 Important Questions NEET Chemistry [Free PDF Download]

1. When can the order of a reaction become zero?

The order of any reaction is a term used to express the sensitivity level of the reaction to any particular change taking place in the concentration of the reactants. This level can be zero when there isn’t any change in the reaction rate even after an alteration has been made to the reactants’ concentrations.

2. What does the term ‘rate of a reaction’ mean?

The rate of a reaction can be defined as the concentration change in any of the products or reactants in a given period of time. Also, the rate of change in molar concentration of any species that takes place in a reaction is also called the rate of a reaction.

3. Define molecularity and state its classification.

Molecularity can be defined as the number of reaction species (molecules, ions, and atoms) that take part in any elementary reaction that has to collide and result in a chemical reaction. Molecularity can be classified into Unimolecular, Bimolecular, and Trimolecular reactions.

4. What is activation energy?

As per the Collision Theory, any reaction is a result of the collision of reactant molecules with each other. The minimum additional energy absorbed by the reactant molecules for the energy levels to be equal to the threshold energy is known as the activation energy.
