CASE BASED QUESTIONS

1.The half-life of a reaction is the time required for the concentration of reactant to decrease
by half, i.e.,[A]t = [A]/2 For first order reaction t1/2 = 0.693/k this means t1/2 is independent of
initial concentration. Figure shows that typical variation of concentration of reactant
exhibiting first order kinetics. It may be noted that though the major portion of the first order
kinetics may be over in a finite time, but the reaction will never cease as the concentration of
reactant will be zero only at infinite time.

The following questions are multiple choice question. Choose the most appropriate
answer:
i)A first order reaction has a rate constant k=3.01 x 10-3 /s. How long it will take to
decompose half of the reactant?
(ii) The rate constant for a first order reaction is 7.0 x 10-4 s-1. If initial concentration of
reactant is 0.080 M, what is the half-life of reaction?
(iii) For the half-life period of a first order reaction, which one of the following
statements is generally false?
(iv) The rate of a first order reaction is 0.04 mol L-1 s-1 at 10 minutes and 0.03 mol L-1 s-
1
at 20 minutes after initiation. The half life of the reaction is

2.Read the given passage and answer the questions:


Zero order reactions are relatively uncommon but they occur under special conditions. Some
enzyme catalysed reactions and reactions which occurs on metal surfaces are a few examples
of zero order reactions. The decompositions which occurs on metal surfaces are a few
examples of zero order reactions. The decomposition of gaseous ammonia on a hot platinum
surface is a zero order reaction at high pressure.
2NH3(g) −−−−−→ N2(g) + 3H2(g) Rate=K[NH3]0=K

In this reaction, Pt acts as a catalyst. At high pressure, the metal surface gets saturated with
gas molecules. So a further change in reaction conditions is unable to alter the amount of
ammonia on the surface of the catalyst making the rate of the reaction independent of its
concentration.

1. What are zero order reactions?


2.If [R]0 And [R] are the concentrations of the reactant initially and after time t, give
the equation relating k.

3.Why is the decomposition of NH3 on Pt surface a zero order reaction?

4.The rate of reaction is concerned with decrease in concentration of reactants or increase in


the concentration of products per unit time. It can be expressed as instantaneous rate at a
particular instant of time and average rate over a large interval of time. Mathematical
representation of rate of reaction is given by rate law. Rate constant and order of a reaction
can be determined from rate law or its integrated rate equation.

b.What is the unit of k for zero order reaction?

5.The rate of reaction is concerned with decrease in concentration of reactants or increase in the
concentration of products per unit time. It can be expressed as instantaneous rate at a particular instant of
time and average rate over a large interval of time. Mathematical representation of rate of reaction is given
by rate law. Rate constant and order of a reaction can be determined from rate law or its integrated rate
equation.

i.For a reaction P + 2Q Products


Rate = k[P]1/2 [Q]1. What is the order of the reaction?

ii.Define pseudo first order reaction with an example.

6.The rate of reaction is concerned with decrease in concentration of reactants or increase in


the concentration of products per unit time. It can be expressed as instantaneous rate at a
particular instant of time and average rate over a large interval of time. A number of factors
such as temperature, concentration of reactants, catalyst affect the rate of reaction.
Mathematical representation of rate of a reaction is given by rate law:
Rate = k[A]x [B]y
x and y indicate how sensitive the rate is to the change in concentration of A and B. Sum of x
+ y gives the overall order of a reaction.
When a sequence of elementary reactions gives us the products, the reactions are called
complex reactions. Molecularity and order of an elementary reaction are same. Zero order
reactions are relatively uncommon but they occur under special conditions. All natural and
artificial radioactive decay of unstable nuclei take place by first order kinetics.
