Q32. Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:
Chemical kinetics: The branch of physical chemistry that is concerned with understanding the rates
of chemical reactions. It is to be contrasted with thermodynamics which deals with the direction in
which a process occurs but in itself tells nothing about its rate. Thermodynamics is time’s arrow
while chemical kinetics is time’s clock. Chemical kinetics relates to many aspects of cosmology,
geology, biology, engineering and even psychology and thus has far-reaching implications. The
principles of chemical kinetics applied to purely physical processes as well as to chemical reactions.
The rate of a chemical reaction is defined in terms of the rates with which the products are formed
and the reactants (the reacting substances) are consumed. For chemical systems, it is usual to deal
with the concentrations of substances, which is defined as the amount of substances per unit
volume. The rate can then be defined as the concentration of a substance that is consumed or
produced in unit time. Sometimes it is more convenient to express rates as number of molecules
formed are consumed in unit time.
Assertion: All collisions of reactant molecules do not lead to product formation.

Reason: Only those collisions in which molecules have correct orientation and sufficient kinetic energy
lead to compound formation.
Choose (A) – if both assertion & reason are correct statements and reason is the correct explanation of
assertion.
Choose (B) – if both assertion & reason are correct statements and reason is not the correct explanation of
assertion.
Choose (C) – if assertion is the correct statement & reason is incorrect statement.
Choose (D) – if assertion is incorrect statement and reason is the correct statement.
Q33. Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:
The half-life of a reaction is the time required for the concentration of reactant to decrease by half,
i.e.,[A]t = [A]/2 For first order reaction, t1/2 = 0.693/k
this means t1/2 is independent of initial concentration. Figure shows that typical variation of
concentration of reactant exhibiting first order kinetics. It may be noted that though the major portion of
the first order kinetics may be over in a finite time, but the reaction will never cease as the concentration
of reactant will be zero only at infinite time.
(i) A first order reaction has a rate constant k=3.01 x 10-3 /s. How long it will take to decompose half of the
reactant?
(a) 2.303 s (b) 23.03 s (c) 230.3 s (d) 2303 s
(ii) The rate constant for a first order reaction is 7.0 x 10-4 s-1. If initial concentration of reactant is
0.080 M, what is the half-life of reaction?
a) 990 s
b) 79.2 s
c) 12375 s
d) 10.10 x 10-4 s
(iii) For the half-life period of a first order reaction, which one of the following statements is
generally false?
a) It is independent of initial concentration.

b) It is independent of temperature.
c) It decreases with the introduction of a catalyst.
d) None of these.
(iv)The rate of a first order reaction is 0.04 mol L-1 s-1 at 10 minutes and 0.03 mol L-1 s-1 at 20
