Q.

Observe the following reactions at T(K).

I. Aproducts

II. 5Br-(aq)+BrO3-(aq)+6H+(aq)3Br2(aq)+3H2O(l) 

Both the reactions are started at 10.00 am. The rates of these reactions at 10.10 am are same. The value of -Δ[Br-]Δt at 10.10 am is 2×10-4mol L-1 min-1. The concentration of A at 10.10 am is 10-2 mol L-1. What is the first order rate constant (in min-1) of reaction I     [2026]

1 10-2  
2 4×10-3  
3 10-3  
4 2×10-3  

Ans.

(2)

At t=10 minutes

Rate of reaction=-15Δ[Br-]Δt=15×(2×10-4)=4×10-5

For reaction AP

at t=10 minutes

Rate of reaction=4×10-5=k[A]

k=4×10-3 min-1
