Assertion – Reason type questions—

In each of the following questions two statements are given one of the
statement is labelled as assertion A and other one as Reason R. Read the
statement carefully and mark correct choice a, b, c or d according to the
following instructions.

a) If both A and R are correct and R is a correct reason of A

b) If both A and R are correct and R is not a correct reason of A

c) If A is correct and R is wrong

d) If A is wrong and R is correct.

1) Assertion A: Half-life period is always independent of initial concentration.

Reason R: Half-life period is inversely proportional to the rate constant.

2) Assertion A: In a zero order reaction, the concentration vs. time graph is a

straight line.

Reason R: The rate of change of concentration per unit time in zero order
reaction remains constant.

3) Assertion A: A pseudo first order reaction occurs slowly.

Reason R: Reactions of high order can follow kinetics of first order under
special conditions.
