The correct Answer is:
To determine which statement is not correct regarding chemical kinetics, we will analyze each statement one by one. ### Step 1: Analyze the First Statement **Statement 1:** For a zero-order reaction, T_half is proportional to initial concentration. - For a zero-order reaction, the half-life (T_half) is given by the formula: \[ T_{1/2} = \frac{[A_0]}{2k} \] where \([A_0]\) is the initial concentration and \(k\) is the rate constant. - From this equation, it is clear that T_half is directly proportional to the initial concentration \([A_0]\). - **Conclusion:** This statement is correct. ### Step 2: Analyze the Second Statement **Statement 2:** The relationship of variation of rate constant with temperature is given by the Arrhenius equation. - The Arrhenius equation describes how the rate constant \(k\) varies with temperature \(T\) and is given by: \[ k = A e^{-\frac{E_a}{RT}} \] where \(A\) is the pre-exponential factor, \(E_a\) is the activation energy, and \(R\) is the universal gas constant. - The statement regarding the relationship involving logarithms is also correct. - **Conclusion:** This statement is correct. ### Step 3: Analyze the Third Statement **Statement 3:** The unit of rate constant for a reaction is \( \text{mol}^{1-n} \cdot \text{L}^{n-1} \cdot \text{s}^{-1} \) where \(n\) is the order of the reaction. - The units of the rate constant \(k\) depend on the order of the reaction \(n\). - For example: - For a zero-order reaction (\(n=0\)), units are \(\text{mol} \cdot \text{L}^{-1} \cdot \text{s}^{-1}\). - For a first-order reaction (\(n=1\)), units are \(\text{s}^{-1}\). - For a second-order reaction (\(n=2\)), units are \(\text{L} \cdot \text{mol}^{-1} \cdot \text{s}^{-1}\). - Therefore, the given formula for the unit of rate constant is indeed correct. - **Conclusion:** This statement is correct. ### Step 4: Analyze the Fourth Statement **Statement 4:** The unit of rate of a reaction changes with the order of the reaction. - The rate of a reaction is defined as the change in concentration over time, typically expressed in units of \(\text{mol} \cdot \text{L}^{-1} \cdot \text{s}^{-1}\). - This unit does not depend on the order of the reaction; it remains constant regardless of whether the reaction is zero, first, or second order. - Therefore, the statement claiming that the unit of rate changes with the order of the reaction is incorrect. - **Conclusion:** This statement is incorrect. ### Final Answer The statement that is not correct is **Statement 4**: "The unit of rate of a reaction changes with the order of the reaction." ---

To determine which statement is not correct regarding chemical kinetics, we will analyze each statement one by one. ### Step 1: Analyze the First Statement **Statement 1:** For a zero-order reaction, T_half is proportional to initial concentration. - For a zero-order reaction, the half-life (T_half) is given by the formula: \[ T_{1/2} = \frac{[A_0]}{2k} ...
