In some cases, it is found that a large number of colliding molecules have energy more than thereshold value, yet the reaction is slow. Why?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

This is because of improper orientation of the colliding molecules at the time of colliison.

(a) The decomposition of A into products has a value of K as 4.5 xx 10^(3)s^(-1) " at "10^(@)C and energy of activation 60kJ "mol"^(-1) . At what temperature would K be 1.5 xx 10^(4) s^(-1) ? (b) (i) If half life period of a first order reaction is x and 3//4^(th) life period of the same reaction is y, how are x and y related to each other ? (ii) In some cases it is found that a large number of colliding molecules have energy more than threshold energy, yet the reaction is slow. Why?

For a certain reaction a large fraction of molecules has energy more than the threshold energy, still the rate of reaction is very slow. The possible reason for this could be that

If temperature changes from 27^@C to 42^@C then no. of molecules having energy greater than thershold energy become five times, then find activation energy of reaction in KJ. Given ln 5= 1.6094

Assertion (A) : Catalyst alters the individual energies of the reactants and products Reason (R) : As such more number of molecules are able to cross the barrier per unit time. Delta H or Delta U of the reaction remains unaltered.
