Q 1 :    

NO2 required for a reaction is produced by decomposition of N2O5 in CCl4 as by equation

 

2N2O5(g)4NO2(g)+O2(g)

 

The initial concentration of N2O5 is 3 mol L-1 and it is 2.75 mol L-1 after 30 minutes.

 

The rate of formation of NO2 is x×10-3 mol L-1 min-1, Value of x is ________ . (nearest integer)              [2024]



(17)

                  Rate of dissociation of N2O5:  -Δ[N2O5]t=-(2.75-3)mol L-130min=1120molL min

                  By stoichiometry of the reaction, 2N2O5(g)4NO2(g)+O2(g)

                  Rate of reaction=-12Δ[N2O5]t=14Δ[NO2]t

                  Δ[NO2]t=2×Δ[N2O5]t

                  Δ[NO2]t=2×1120molL min=16.67×10-3molL min17×10-3molL min

 



Q 2 :    

Consider the following single step reaction in gas phase at constant temperature.

 

2A(g)+B(g)C(g) 

 

The initial rate of the reaction is recorded as r1 when the reaction starts with 1.5 atm pressure of A and 0.7 atm pressure of B. After some time, the rate r2 is recorded when the pressure of C becomes 0.5 atm. The ratio r1:r2 is _________ ×10-1. (Nearest Integer)               [2024]



(315)

                                   2A(g)          +           B(g)               C(g)

                      t = 0      1.5 atm                     0.7 atm

                    (press)

                      t = t      (1.5 - 2p) atm         (0.7 - p) atm               p atm

                    (press)

                    Since reaction is single step reaction, its rate law can be written from stoichiometry of the reaction as:

                    r=k(PA)2(PB)

                   Initial rate r1 is thus r1 = k(1.5)2(0.7)

                   As given in question p = 0.5 atm

                   Thus pressure of A after sometime

                                =(1.5-2p)atm=(1.5-2×0.5)atm=0.5atm

                   Pressure of B after sometime

                                =(0.7-p)atm=(0.7-0.5)atm=0.2atm

                  Rate after sometime, r2=k(0.5)2(0.2)

                   r1r2=k(1.5)2(0.7)k(0.5)2(0.2)=315×10-1

                    

 



Q 3 :    

Consider the following first order gas phase reaction at constant temperature

 

A(g)2B(g)+C(g)

 

If the total pressure of the gases is found to be 200 torr after 23 sec. and 300 torr upon the complete decomposition of A after a very long time, then the rate constant of the given reaction is ______ ×10-2s-1 (nearest integer).

                             From (i) and (ii)

                       Po=100 torr, P=50 torr

                       For first order reaction, rate constant k is given as:
