Remember that in order to have a unique value of the reaction rate
(independent of the concentration term chosen), it is necessary to divide
each concentration change by its coefficient in the balanced equation for
the reaction.

Q8.
Justify the following statements
(i)
Rate of chemical reaction is an ever changing parameter under
the given conditions.
Ans. The rate of chemical reaction change with time. It has a
maximum value at the beginning of the reaction, then gradually
decreases and finally becomes zero when the reactants are totally
converted into products.
(ii)
The reaction rate decreases every moment but rate constant k
of the reaction is constant quantity, under the given conditions.
Ans. The rate of chemical reaction is not uniform. It depends upon the
molar concentrations of reactants. The rate of reaction is directly
proportional to concentrations of reactants. Since the concentration
of reactants decreases every moment, so the rate of reaction, then

does not affect the reaction rate is not included in the rate equation.
The order of reaction is the number of reacting molecules whose
concentrations alter as a result of a chemical reaction. Hence the
order of a reaction is obtained from the rate equation and the rate
expression is obtained from the experiment.
Q9.
Explain that half-life method for measurement of the order of a
reaction can help us to measure the order of even those reactions
which have a fractional order.
Q10. A cure is obtained when a graph is plotted between time on xaxis and concentration on y-axis. The measurement of the slopes of
various points give us the instantaneous rates of reaction. Explain
with suitable examples.
Q11. The rate determining step of a reaction is found out from the
mechanism of that reaction. Explain it with few examples.
Q12. Discuss the factors which influence the rates of chemical
reactions.
Q13. Explain the following facts about the reaction.

rates of this reaction.
(ii)
Individual orders with respect to NO and H2 can be
measured.
(iii)
The overall order can be evaluated by keeping the
concentration of one of the substances constant.
Q14. The collision frequency and the orientation of molecules are
necessary conditions for determining the proper rate of reaction.

Q17. Briefly describe the following with examples:
(i)
Change of physical state of a catalyst at the end of
reaction.
Ans. There may be change in physical state such as the particle size or
change in the colour of the catalyst at the end of reaction. For
example, granular MnO2 used as a catalyst in the thermal
decomposition of KC1O3 is left as fine powder at the end of
reaction.
(ii)
A very small amount of a catalyst may prove sufficient
to carry out a reaction.
Ans. Since a catalyst is not used up in the reaction, a very small
amount of catalyst is required. It can catalyses the reaction over
and over again. Sometimes a trace of a metal catalyst is required
to affect very large amount of reactants. For example, 1 mg of fine
platinum powder can convert 2.5 dm3 of H2 and 1.25 dm3 of O2 to
water. Dry HC1 and NH3 combine in the presence of trace of
moisture to give dense white fume of NH4C1.
(iii)
A finely divided catalyst may prove more effective.
Ans. A catalyst is more effective when it is present in a finely divided
form than it is used in bulk. With the increase of fine subdivision,
the free surface area is increased. As a result, the active sites on the
surface are increased. Consequently, the activity of the catalyst is
also enhanced. For example, a lump of platinum will have much
less catalytic activity than colloidal platinum. Finely divided nickel
is a better catalyst than lumps of solid nickel.
(iv)
Equilibrium constant of a reversible reaction is not
changed in the presence of a catalyst.
Ans. A catalyst for the forward reaction is also a catalyst for the
reverse reaction. A catalyst speeds up the rate of both the forward

Is reached much sooner but the percentage yield remains
uncharged.
(iv)
A catalyst is specific in its action.
Ans. A catalyst cans catalyst only a specific reaction. When a
particular catalyst works for one reaction it may not necessarily
work for any other reaction. It may increase the rate of one
reaction but not increase the rate of another reaction. For example,
MnO2 can catalyse the decomposition of KC1O3 but not that of
NH3. The decomposition of NH3 is catalysed by a hot tungsten
wire.
2KC1O3(g)
2KC1(s) + 3O2(g)
2NH3(g)
N2(g) + 3H2(g)
Remember that transition metals catalyse reaction of different
types.
For example, the decomposition of aqueous solutions of
hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is catalysed by MnO2 or colloidal
platinum.
2H2O2(l)
2H2O(l) + O2(g)
Q18. What are enzymes? Give examples in which they act as catalyst.
Mention the characteristics of enzyme catalysis.
Q19. In the reaction of NO and H2, it was observed that equimolecular
mixture of gases at 340.5 mm pressure was half changed in 102
seconds. In another experiment with an initial pressure of 288 mm
of Hg, the reaction was half completed in 140 seconds. Calculate
the order of reaction.
Ans. Initial pressure of reactants = Initial concentrations of reactants.
