CBSE TEST PAPER-03

CLASS - XII CHEMISTRY (Chemical Kinetics)

[ANSWERS]

Topic: -Determination of order of a reaction

1. a) Since the units of rate constant are Lmol-1 s-1 The reactions is of second order.
b) Since the units of rate constant are s-1 , The reaction is of first order.

2. The rate law will be R = K [NO]2 [H2]

3. R1 = K [A]2 [B] -----------------------------------1)

R2 = K [2A]2 [2B] -----------------------------------2)
Dividing 2) by 1)
R2 [2 A]2 [2B] 8 [A]2 [B] R2
= = = = 8:1 or R 2 = 8R1
R1 [ A]2 [B] [A]2 [B] R1
The rate of reaction increases eight times.

[ R]0 − [ R]
4. i) Zero order reaction - K=
t
2.303 [R ]
ii) First order reaction K= log 0
t [ R]
Where R0 is the initial concentration
R is concentration at time t.

5. From the graph

i) Reaction is first order reaction
ii) The unit of rate constant will be sec-1.

6. Let the order of reaction be x

Rate = K[N2O5]x
i) From the data -
34 ×10-5 = (1.13× 10-2)x ----------------1)
25×10-5 = (0.84× 10-2)x ---------------2)

 18×10-5 = (0.62×10-2)x ----------------3)
Dividing 1) by 2)
34 ×10−5 1.13 ×10−2 x
= ( )
25 × 10−5 0.84 ×10−2
(1.36) = (1.35)x
X=1
The order of reaction with respect with respect to N2O5 is 1
ii) Rate law R = K [N2O5]
Rate 18 ×10−5 mol/L/min
iii) Rate constant , K = = = 0.29 min-1
[ N 2O5 ] 0.62 ×10−2 mol/L

7. Order of NO is 2
Rate law = K [Cl2] [NO]2
8.

9. Use of integrated rate equation -

1. The value of rate constant can be known when concentration of reactant at different
times are known-

2. Order of a reaction can be determined by the knowledge of reaction concentration at

different times.

10. For the reaction A → B , if the order =1

− d [ A]
(i) Differential rate law is = K [A]
dt
2.303 [ R]o
(ii) Integrated rate law is t = log
K [ R]
