Show that is the half life period of a first order reaction is independent of then initial concentration of the reactant.

Answer»

For first order reaction, equation of rate constant is K =  \(\frac{2.303}{t}\) log \(\frac{a}{a-x}\)

Where a = initial concentration of reactant 

When half of the reaction is completed, x = \(\frac{a}{2}\)

a - x = a - \(\frac{a}{2}\) = \(\frac{a}{2}\) 

putting t = t1/2 in the equation, we get 

k = 2.303/ t1/2 \(\Big(\frac{a}{a/2}\Big)\) = 2.303/ t1/2 log 2 = 0.693/k 

This shows half-life is independent from initial concentration of reactant

Which one of the following equations does not correctly represent the first law of thermodynamics for the given processes involving an ideal gas ? (Assume non-expansion work is zero) (1) Adiabatic process : ΔU = –w (2) Cyclic process : q = – w (3) Isothermal process : q = – w (4) Isochoric process : ΔU = q

Answer»

Correct option (1) Adiabatic process : ΔU = –w

Explanation:

Ist law of thermodynamics 

ΔE = q + w

1. Adiabatic process 

q = 0, (ΔE = w) or (ΔU = w) 

2. Cyclic process 

ΔE = 0, (q = – w) 

3. Isothermal process 

ΔE = nCVΔT, (ΔT = 0) 

ΔE = 0, (q = –w) 

4. Isochoric process ΔV = 0 

w = PΔV = 0 

ΔE = q

Neither liquid solvent, nor solution nor solute molecules pass through SPM. Only vapours pass through SPM. When an aqueous solution and water are separated by SPM, vapours of water molecules from water pass into solution through SPM. It is because water has higher vapour pressure than the solution. Infact, osmosis takes place from a solution of high vapour pressure to a solution of low vapour pressure. When two solutions are separated by SPM, the solution of lower molar concentration has high vapour pressure. Therefore, osmosis takes place from a solution of lower molar concentration to a solution of higher molar concentration. Goat's bladder, egg membrane, wall of living cells, parchment, cellophane etc. are common SPM. But these are not perfectly semi-permeable and are weak too. Artificially prepared cupric ferrocyanide Cu2 [Fe(CN)6] is the best SPM.i.  ASSERTION – Osmotic pressure is a colligative property REASON- Osmotic pressure is directly proportional to molarity a. Both assertion and reason are true, and reason is the correct explanation of assertion. b. Both assertion and reason are true, but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion. c. Assertion is true but reason is falsed. Both assertion and reason are false.ii. ASSERTION - If the blood cells are placed in pure water, they will swell and burst REASON- Due to osmosis the movement of water molecules into the cell dilutes the salt content. a). Both assertion and reason are true, and reason is the correct explanation of assertion. b). Both assertion and reason are true, but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion. iii. ASSERTION- Osmotic pressure is numerically equivalent to the osmotic potential. REASON- Osmotic pressure is the negative pressure applied while the osmotic potential is positive. a. Both assertion and reason are true, and reason is the correct explanation of assertion. b. Both assertion and reason are true, but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion. c. Assertion is true but reason is false. d. Both assertion and reason are falsec). Assertion is true but reason is false. d). Both assertion and reason are false.iv. ASSERTION- 1 M solution of KCl has greater osmotic pressure than 1 M solution of glucose at the same pressure. REASON- In solution, KCl dissociates to produce more number of particles a. Both assertion and reason are true, and reason is the correct explanation of assertion. b. Both assertion and reason are true, but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion. c.
