Chemical Kinetics · Question 24

Consider A k1 B and C k2 D are two reactions. If the rate constant (k1) of the A B reaction can be expressed by the following equation 10 k = 14.34 - 1.5 104T/K and activation energy of C D reaction (Ea2) is 15th of the A B reaction (Ea1), then the value of (Ea2) is kJ mol-1. (Nearest Integer)

Pre-exponential factors of two different reactions of same order are identical. Let activation energy of first reaction exceed the activation energy of second reaction by 20 kJ mol-1. If k1 and k2 are the rate constants of first and second reaction respectively at 300 K, then k2k1 will be . (nearest integer) [R = 8.3 J K-1 mol-1]

Decomposition of A is a first order reaction at T(K) and is given by A(g) B(g) + C(g). In a closed 1 L vessel, 1 bar A(g) is allowed to decompose at T(K). After 100 minutes, the total pressure was 1.5 bar. What is the rate constant (in min-1) of the reaction? ( 2 = 0.3)

2. 6.9 10-3
3. 6.9 10-1

In a first order decomposition reaction, the time taken for the decomposition of reactant to one fourth and one eighth of its initial concentration are t1 and t2 (s), respectively. The ratio t1/t2 will be:

3. 34
4. 23

A person's wound was exposed to some bacteria and then bacterial growth started to happen at the same place. The wound was later treated with some antibacterial medicine and the rate of bacterial decay (r) was found to be proportional with the square of the existing number of bacteria at any instance. Which of the following set of graphs correctly represents the 'before' and 'after' situation of the application of the medicine? [Given: N = No. of bacteria, t = time, bacterial growth follows 1st order kinetics.]
