Solution:
NCERT Solutions for Class 12 Chemistry Chapter 4 Chemical Kinetics 1

Question 2.
In a reaction, 2A → products, the concentration of A decreases from 0.5 mol L-1 to 0.4 mol L-1 in 10 minutes. Calculate the rate during this interval.
Solution:
NCERT Solutions for Class 12 Chemistry Chapter 4 Chemical Kinetics 2

Question 3.
For a reaction, A + B → product; the rate law is given by, r = k[A]1/2 [B]2. What is the order of the reaction?
Solution:
NCERT Solutions for Class 12 Chemistry Chapter 4 Chemical Kinetics 3

Question 4.
The conversion of molecules X to Y follows second order kinetics. If concentration of X is increased to three times how will it affect the rate of formation of Y?
Solution:
The reaction, X → Y, follows second order kinetics hence the rate law equation will be
Rate = kC2, where C = [X]
If concentration of X increases three times, now, [X] = 3C mol L-1
∴ Rate = k(3C)2 = 9kC2
Thus the rate of reaction will become 9 times. Hence, the rate of formation of Y will increase 9 times.

Question 5.
A first order reaction has a rate constant 1.15 × 10-3 s-1. How long will 5 g of this reactant take to reduce to 3 g?
Solution:
NCERT Solutions for Class 12 Chemistry Chapter 4 Chemical Kinetics 4

Question 6.
Time required to decompose SO2Cl2 to half of its initial amount is 60 minutes. If the decomposition is a first order reaction, calculate the rate constant of the reaction.
Solution:
NCERT Solutions for Class 12 Chemistry Chapter 4 Chemical Kinetics 5

Question 7.
What will be the effect of temperature on rate constant?
Solution:
It has been found that for a chemical reaction, with rise in temperature by 10°, the rate constant is nearly doubled.

The temperature dependence of the rate of a chemical reaction can be accurately explained by Arrhenius equation.
K = Ae-Ea/RT
Where A is the Arrhenius factor or the frequency factor. It is also called pre exponential factor. It is a constant specific to a particular reaction. R is gas constant and Ea is activation energy measured in joules/mole (J mol-1).

Question 8.
The rate of the chemical reaction doubles for an increase of 10 K in absolute temperature from 298 K. Calculate Ea.

Rate = k[CH3OCH3]3/2
The rate of reaction is followed by increase in pressure in closed vessel, so the rate can also be expressed in terms of the partial pressure of dimethyl ether, i.e.,
Rate = K(pCH3OCH3)3/2
If the pressure is measured in bar and time in minutes, then what are the units of rate and rate constants ?
Solution:
In terms of pressure,
Units of rate = bar min-1
NCERT Solutions for Class 12 Chemistry Chapter 4 Chemical Kinetics 14

Question 5.
Mention the factors that affect the rate of a chemical reaction.
Solution:
Following are the factors on which rate of reaction depends.
(i) Nature of the reactant : Rate of reaction depends on nature of reactant.
Example : Reactions of ionic compounds are faster than that of covalent compounds.

(ii) State of reactants : Solid reactions are slow, reactions of liquids are fast whereas that of gases are very fast.

(iii) Temperature : Rate of reaction largely depends on temperature. It has been observed that every 10°C rise in temperature increases rate of reaction by 2-3 times.
\(\frac { { r }_{ t }+10 }{ { r }_{ t } } \) = 2 – 3 . This ratio is called temperature coefficient.
There are two reasons for increasing rate of reaction with increasing temperature.

(a) Increase in temperature increases average kinetic energy of reactant molecules. Hence, rate of collision increases.
(b) With increase in temperature number of molecules having threshold energy also increases i.e. number of active molecules increases. As a result, number of effective collisions increases. Hence, rate of reaction increases.

(iv) Concentration : Rate of reaction also depends on concentration of reactants.
Rate = k × C”, where n = order of reaction, C = concentration of reactant.

(v) Presence of catalyst : Rate of reaction also depends on presence of catalyst. Catalyst increases rate of reaction by any of the following ways:
(a) Increasing surface area of reaction.
(b) Adsorbing the reactants on its surface and thus increasing chance of collision.
(c) By forming unstable intermediate with the substrate.
(d) By providing alternate path of lower activation energy.

Question 6.
A reaction is second order with respect to a reactant. How is the rate of reaction affected if the concentration of the reactant is

  1. doubled
  2. reduced to half ?

Solution:
NCERT Solutions for Class 12 Chemistry Chapter 4 Chemical Kinetics 15
NCERT Solutions for Class 12 Chemistry Chapter 4 Chemical Kinetics 16

Question 7.
What is the effect of temperature on the rate constant of a reaction? How can this temperature effect on rate constant be represented quantitatively?
Solution:
The rate constant increases with increase in temperature and becomes almost double for every 10° increase in temperature. Swedish chemist, Arrhenius derived a quantitative relation between rate of reaction and temperature. According to Arrhenius,
