It has been found that for a chemical reaction with rise in temperature by 9K the rate constant gets doubled. Assuming a reaction to be occurring at 300 K, the value of activation energy is found to be________ kJ mol-1. (in nearest integer)
(Given: In 10 = 2.3, R = 8.3 JK-1 mol-1, log2 = 0.30)

(Given: In 10 = 2.3, R = 8.3 JK-1 mol-1, log2 = 0.30)
Initial temperature ; T1 = 300 K
Final temperature ; T2 = 309 K
Rate constant gets doubled i.e K2 = 2K1

Ans: Correct option C
Let's start with what a pseudo-first-order response is.
Although the pseudo-first-order reaction looks to be an order, it belongs to another order. It's a second-order reaction because it involves two react

Correct option C
In the presence of a catalyst, the value of ΔG cannot be changed for any reaction.
ΔG=−RtlnQ
Where Q is the Reaction Quotient, which is determined by the product and reactant concentration

This is a Fill in the blanks Type Question as classified in NCERT Exemplar
Ans: Correct option B
Let order of A and B be x and y.
r = k [A]x [B]y
0.1 = k (0.3)x (0.3)y_______1
0.4 = 0.1 = k (0.3)x (0.6)y_______2
0.2 = 0.1 = k (0.6)x (0.3)y______3
Divide 2 by 1
=
Divide 3 by 1
=
Hence R

A. 1.26 ×1015s
B. 2.52 ×1014s
C. 2.52 ×1028s
D. Infinite
A first order reaction is 50% completed in 1.26 ×1014s. How much time would it take for 100% completion?
A. 1.26 ×1015s
B. 2.52 ×1014s
C. 2.52 ×1028s
D. Infinite
This is a Fill in the blanks Type Question as classified in NCERT Exemplar
Ans: Correct option D
Note. It is not possible to perform 100% of the reaction because is half-life
Basically, it is called half-line period of the reaction. So, the time taken for 100% completion of the reaction is infinite.
Which of the following statements is incorrect about the collision theory of chemical reaction?
A. It considers reacting molecules or atoms to be hard spheres and ignores their structural features.
B. Number of effective collisions determines the rate of reaction.
C. Collision of atoms or molecules possessing sufficient threshold energy results into the product formation.
D. Molecules should collide with sufficient threshold energy and proper orientation for the collision to be effective.
