Chapter 4 Chemical Kinetics Solutions

Question - 31 : -

Consider a certain reaction A →Products with = 2.0 × 10−2 s−1.Calculate the concentration of remaining after 100 s if theinitial concentration of is 1.0 mol L−1.

Answer - 31 : -

k =2.0 × 10−2 s−1

T =100 s

[A]o = 1.0 moL−1

Since theunit of k is s−1, the given reaction is a firstorder reaction.

Question - 32 : -

Sucrose decomposes in acidsolution into glucose and fructose according to the first order rate law,with t1/2 = 3.00 hours. What fraction of sample ofsucrose remains after 8 hours?

Answer - 32 : -

For a first order reaction,

Question - 33 : -

The decomposition of hydrocarbonfollows the equation


Answer - 33 : -

= (4.5 × 10_11 s_−1) e_−28000 K/T

Calculate E_a.

Answer

The given equation is

= (4.5 ×1011 s−1) e−28000 K/T (i)

Arrheniusequation is given by,

(ii)

From equation (i) and (ii), weobtain

= 8.314 J K−1 mol−1 ×28000 K

= 232792 J mol−1

= 232.792 kJ mol−1

Question - 34 : -

The rate constant for the firstorder decomposition of H2O2 is given by thefollowing equation:


Answer - 34 : -

log = 14.34 − 1.25 × 10_4 K/T

Calculate E_a for this reaction and at what temperature will its half-period be 256 minutes?

Answer

Arrhenius equation is given by,


Question - 35 : -

The decomposition of A intoproduct has value of as 4.5 × 103 s−1 at10°C and energy of activation 60 kJ mol−1. At what temperaturewould be 1.5 × 104 s−1?

Answer - 35 : -

From Arrhenius equation, weobtain

Also, k1 =4.5 × 103 s−1

T1 =273 + 10 = 283 K

k2 =1.5 × 104 s−1

Ea =60 kJ mol−1 = 6.0 × 104 J mol−1

Then,

= 297 K

= 24°C

Hence, k wouldbe 1.5 × 104 s−1 at 24°C.

Question - 36 : -

The time required for 10%completion of a first order reaction at 298 K is equal to that required for its25% completion at 308 K.

Answer - 36 : -

 If the value of is4 × 10_10 s_−1. Calculate at 318 K and E_a.

Answer

For a first order reaction,

At 298 K,

Question - 37 : -

The rate of a reaction quadrupleswhen the temperature changes from 293 K to 313 K. 

Answer - 37 : - Calculate the energy of activation of the reaction assuming that it does not change with temperature.


Answer

From Arrhenius equation, weobtain
