Consider the following two first order reactions occurring at 298 K with same initial concentration of A:(1) A rarr B, rate constant, k = 0.693 min^(-1)(2) A rarr C, half-life, t_(1//2) = 0.693 minChoose the correct option.

Answer»

Reaction (1) is faster than reaction (2).
Reaction (1) is slower than reaction (2).
Both reactions proceed at the same rate.
Since two different PRODUCTS are formed, RATES cannot be compared.

Solution : For reaction (1) : `ARARRB`,
rate constant `(k_1) = 0.693 min^(-1)`
For reaction (2), `ArarrC,`
rate constant `(K_2)=(0.693)/(t_(1//2)) implies (0.693)/(0.693)=1MIN^(-1)`
So,`k_1 LT k_2`
Hence,reaction (1) is slower than reaction (2).

Boiling point solution II is `114.44^(@)C` (`k_(b)` of water is `0.52 K Kg//mol`)
If the cross sectional area of surface of solution in container-II is increased by `10%`, the number of molecules in the PHASE will INCREASE by `10%`

Consider the following system. Three different aqueous solution each having volume 100 ml are taken are kept in contact as shown. After sufficient time (Consider temp constant & 100% dissociation of strong electrolyte )

Answer»

Volume of urea solution will be `100/3` ML.
Volume of `AlCl_3` solution will be `400/3` ml.
There will be no change in volume of KCl solution
Volume of both KCl and `AlCl_2` solutions will increase.

Solution :After SUFFICIENT time osmotic pressure of all solution will become same.
as T is same i.e. molar concentration should be same, for this ratio of volume should be the same as that of ratio moles.
`{:("Urea",:,KCl,:,AlCl_3),(20 m "moles", " " ,30 m "moles", " " ,40 m "moles"):}`
Total volume (300 ml) should be divided in 2:3:4
`V_("urea")=2/9xx300=200/3 ml`
`V_(KCl)=3/9xx300=100 ml`
`V_(AlCl_3)=4/9xx300=400/3`ml

Consider the following substances (1)HCHO ""(2) CH_(3)CHO (3) CH_(3)COCH_(3)""(4) CH_(3)COC_(2)H_(5) The correct order of reactivity towards nucleophilic addition reaction is

Answer»

`1 gt 2 gt 3 gt 4`
` 1 gt 3 gt 2 gt 4`
` 1 gt 2 gt 4 gt 3`
` 1 gt 4 gt 2 gt 3`

SOLUTION :Aldehydes are more reactive than KETONES towards NUCLEOPHILIC addition reactions, due to the electron repelling inductive effect `(+I)` of alkyl GROUPS. The alkyl groups at the carbonyl carbon in ketones reduces the positive charge over it and therefore, the tedency of a nucleophilic attack is reduced. The bulky alkyl groups ALSO decrease the reactivity of `gt C = O` group , due to steric hindrance.
21.

Consider the following substances 1) 2-propanol, 2) propanone, 3) methyl amine The correct sequence of increasing order of boiling point is

Answer»

2 lt 3 lt 1
1 lt 2 lt 3
2 lt 1 lt 3
3 lt 2 lt 1

Solution :The high boiling POINT of alcohols and amines is due to intermolecular hydrogen bonding. Alcohols have higher boiling point than amines, because of more ELECTRONEGATIVITY of oxygen than nitrogen . CARBONYL compounds have no hydrogen bonding . The dipole-dipole forces of carbonyl compounds causes them to have higher boiling point but less than compounds whichhave intermolecular hydrogen bonding.

Correct statements are ............

Answer»

(ii) only
(ii) and (IV)
(ii) and (v)
(i) , (ii) and (v)

Solution :In zero order reactions, increase in the concentration of REACTANT does not alter the rate . So STATEMENT (ii) is correct, and statement (iii) is wrong

`k=Ae^0`
k = A
LN `k=A-((E_a)/(R))(1/T)`
this equation is in the form of a straight line equation y = c + mx
a plot of LNK vs `(1/T)` is a straight line with negative slope so statements (iv) and (v) are wrong .

Consider the following statements : (I)An increase in pressure (caused by decrease in volume) at equilibrium results in increase in molar concentration of each gasous substances involved. (II)An increase in pressure (caused by decrease in volume) at equilibrium results in increase in no. of moles of each gaseous substance involved. (III)For the reaction A(s)hArr B(g)+C(g) at constant temperature, total pressure at equilibrium (of B(g) & C(g)) is not affected by changing the volume of container. (IV)H_2O(l)hArrH_2O(g) on temperature increase K of this reaction is increased. Tick the correct statement(s)

Answer»

(I)
(II)
(III)
(IV)

SOLUTION :(I)`Ppropn/V`
on `P uarr n/V uarr`
(II):`Puarr on`, equation shifts in a direction in which no . Of moles of gases `darr`
(III)`K_P=(P_B)(P_C)`(constant at constant temp)
(IV) `H_2O(l) hArr H_2O(G) " " DeltaH=+ve`
on `T uarr` FORWARD reaction.
