Q1. A reaction is of second order with respect to a reactant. How will the rate of reaction
be affected if concentration of this reaction is i) doubled ii) reduced to half.
Q3. A 1 st order reaction has a rate constant of 0.0051 min-1. If we begin with 0.10M
concentration of the reactant. What concentration of reactant will remain in solution
after 3 hours.
Q4. Distinguish between order and molecularity of a reaction. When will the order and
molecularity of a reaction be the same.
Q11. The rate of reaction X→Y becomes 8 times when the conc. of X is doubled. Write
rate law.
Q12. A reaction is 50% complete in 2hours and 75% in 4hours. What is the order of the
reaction.
Q13. When the rate of reaction is equal to specific reaction rate.
Q14. State the unit of “rate constant in a zero order reaction.
Q16. For the reaction 3H2(g)+ N2(g)→2NH3(g), how the rate of reaction expressions
–d[H2]/dt and d[NH3]/dt are interrelated?
Q18. The decomposition of N2O5(g) is a first order reaction with a rate of constant of
5X10-4 sec-1 at 450C i.e.2 N2O5(g) →4 NO2(g)+ O2(g). If initial concentration of
N2O5 is 0.25M, calculate its concentration after 2 min. Also calculate half life of
decomposition of N2O5(g)
Q19. A first order decomposition reaction takes 40 min for 30% decomposition.

containing wood has only 80% of C-14 activity as found in living tree.
Calculate the age of the tool.
Q24. Show that the time required for 99% completion is twice the time required for the
completion of 90% reaction.
Q25. Derive the general expression for half life of a 1st order reaction.
