A reaction of the type A(g) + B(g) rarr ...

A reaction of the type A(g) + B(g) `rarr` Product is taking place in a vessel. Ifthe volume ofthe reaction vessel is suddenly reduced to one fourth of the initial volume, the ratio of final rate initial rate is

A

`4:1`

B

`2:1`

C

`16:1`

D

`1:2`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The rate of the gaeous reaction : `A(g) + B(g) rarr` Product is given by expression `-(dx)/(dt) = k[A][B]`
Concentration = n/V, so `("rate")_("initial") = k(n//V) xx (n//V)` and `("rate")_("final") = k(4n//V) xx (4n//V)`
So, `(("Rate")_("final"))/(("Rate")_("initial")) = (16)/(1)`

A liquit is in equilibrium with its vapour in a sealed container at a fixed temperature. The volume of the container is suddenly increased. How do rate of evaporation and condensation change initially?

The reaction A rarr X is a first order reaction which takes place in a vessel with initial concentration of A as 10 M. The rate constant for this reaction is 4.16 h^(-1) . In the presence of a catalyst, the reaction A rarr Y follows second-order kinetics and the rate constant is 0.2 min^(-1) M^(-1) . What should be the initial concentration of A in the presence of catalyst so that the value of t_(1//2) for both the reactions is the same?
