Following are two first order reaction with their half times given at 25^(@)C . A overset(t_(1//2) = 30 min)rarr Products B overset(t_(1//2)=40 min)rarr Products The temperature coefficients of their reactions rates are 3 and 2 , respectively, beween 25^(@)C and 35^(@)C . IF the above two resctions are carried out taking 0.4 M of each reactant but at different temperatures: 25^(@)C for the first order reaction and 35^(@)C for the second order reaction, find the ratio of the concentrations of A and B after an hour.

The rate of reaction increases isgnificantly with increase in temperature. Generally, rate of reactions are doubled for every 10^(@)C rise in temperature. Temperature coefficient gives us an idea about the change in the rate of a reaction for every 10^(@)C change in temperature. "Temperature coefficient" (mu) = ("Rate constant of" (T + 10)^(@)C)/("Rate constant at" T^(@)C) Arrhenius gave an equation which describes aret constant k as a function of temperature k = Ae^(-E_(a)//RT) where k is the rate constant, A is the frequency factor or pre-exponential factor, E_(a) is the activation energy, T is the temperature in kelvin, R is the universal gas constant. Equation when expressed in logarithmic form becomes log k = log A - (E_(a))/(2.303 RT) Activation energies of two reaction are E_(a) and E_(a)' with E_(a) gt E'_(a) . If the temperature of the reacting systems is increased form T_(1) to T_(2) ( k' is rate constant at higher temperature).

For the consecutive unimolecular-type first-order reaction A overset(k_(1))rarr R overset(k_(2))rarr S , the concentration of component R, C_( R) at any time t is given by - C_(R ) = C_(OA)K_(1)[e^(-k_(1)t)/((k_(2)-k_(1))) +e^(-k_(2)t)/((k_(1)-k_(2)))] if C_(A) = C_(AO), C_(R ) = C_(RO) = 0 at t = 0 The time at which the maximum concentration of R occurs is -

A train accelerates from at the constant rate b for time t_(2) at a constant rate a and then it retards at the comes to rest. Find the ratio t_(1) // t_(2) .

Find the dimensions of (a) the specific heat capacity c, (b) the coefficient of linear expansion alpha and (c) the gas constant R. Some of the equations these quantities are Q=mc(T_(2)-T_(1)) l_(t)=l_(0)[1+alpha (T_(2)-T_(1))] and PV=nRT. (Where Q=heat enegry , m=mass, T_(1)&T_(2) = temperatures, l_(1) =length at temperature t^(@)C , l_(0)= length at temperature 0^(@) C , P=Pressure, v = volume, n = mole)

A projectile is fixed on a horizontal ground. Coefficient of restitution between the projectile and the ground is 'e'. If a,b and c be the ration of time of flight [(T_(1))/(T_(2))] , maximum height [(H_(1))/(H_(2))] and horizontal range [(R_(1))/(R_(2))] in first two collisions with the ground, then

The activation energies of two reactions are E_(1) & E_(2) with E_(1)gtE_(2) . If temperature of reacting system is increased from T_(1) (rate constant are k_(1) and k_(2) ) to T_(2) (rate constant are k_(1)^(1) and k_(2)^(1) ) predict which of the following alternative is incorrect.
