The conversion of the molecules X to Y follows second order kinetics. If the concentration X is increased to three times, how will it affect the rate of formation of Y?

Answer»

Solution :For the reaction, `X to Y`, as it follows second order kinetics, the rate law equation will be
Rate `=K[X]^(2)`
If concentration of X is increased to three times, then
Rate `=k[3X]^(2) "orRate"=9K[X]^(2)`
Thus, the RTE of reaction will become 9 times. Hence, the rateof formation of Y will INCREASE 9 times.
10.

The conversion of the molecules X to Y follows second order kinetics. If the concentration X is increased to three times, how will it affect the rate of formation of Y ?

Answer»

Solution :For the reaction, `XtoY`, as it follows SECOND order KINETICS, the rate LAW equation will be
Rate `=k[X]^(2)=ka^(2)""("if "[X]=a" mol L"^(-1))`
If concentration of X is increased three times, now, `[X]=3"a mol L"^(-1)`
`:."""Rate"=k(3" a")^(2)=9" ka"^(2)`
Thus, the rate of reaction will become 9 times. Hence, the rate of FORMATION of Y will increase 9 times.

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?

Answer»

Solution :Given reaction X `to` Y
Order of reaction =2
`therefore Rate r_(1)=-K[x]^(2)`
Now,the CONCENTRATION of X increase to THREE time then new concentration is =3X mol `L^(-1)`
`therefore New rate r_(2)=k[3X]^(2)=9K [x]^(2)`
`therefore (r_(2))/(r_(1))=(9k[X]^(2))/(k[X]^(2))=9`
So ,new rate is nine times.
`therefore` so,it will effect nine times in the rate of formation of Y.

The conversion of molecules x to y follows second order kinetics. It concentration of x is increased to three times how will it affect the rate of formation of y ? For the reaction x rarr y as it follows second order kinetics wherefore the rate of formation of y ?

Answer»

SOLUTION :Rate `=k[x]^(2)=KA^(2)`
`[x]="a mol"^(-1)`
If the concentration of x is incross three time, then
`(x)=3"a mol L"^(-1)`
Rate `= R(3A)^(2)=9 ka^(2)`
Hence, the rate of formation will increase by 9 times.
20.

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 ?

Answer»

Solution :For the REACTION , `X rarrY` as it follows second order kinetics , therefore the rate law EQUATION will be
Rate `=k[X]^2=ka^2`
if`[X]= "a mol"^(-1)`
If the CONCENTRATION of X is increased three times , then
`[X] = 3 " a mol L"^(-1)`
`:.` Rate `=k(3A)^2=9ka^2`
Thus, the rate of the reaction will become 9 times. Hence the rate of FORMATION of Y will increase by 9 times.
