27. Specific reaction rate is the rate of reaction when the molar concentration of each of the reactants is unity.
28. The rate of disintegration of a radioactive substance is directly proportional to the amount of the substance
present. Hence, it is a reaction of first order.
29. For a particular reaction at a particular temperature, rate constant is constant and does not depend upon the
concentrations of the reactants.

2. Answer (2, 3)
The rate law is given by
Rate = K [RCl]
For reaction, RCl + NaOH o ROH + NaCl .
The rate v [RCl] hence when [RCl] reduces to half, rate also becomes half and is not affected by [NaOH].
The rate always increases with the increase in temperature.

6. Answer (2)
The rate of reaction generally increases the rate by 2 times to 3 times. We also define
K T 10

KT
and with the increase in temperature collision frequency increases as more molecules cross the energy barrier
and acquire activation energy.
7. Answer (2)
Only a positive catalyst lowers the activation energy and increases the rate of reaction.
And ('H) = (EA)f – (EA)b
? Statement (2) is not the correct explanation because the catalyst provides an alternate mechanism for the
conversion of reactants to products.
