For a reaction 1/2 A→ 2B rate of disapperance of A is related to rate of appearance of B by the expression.

  • -d[A]dt= 12d[B]dt

  • -d[A]dt= 4d[B]dt

  • -d[A]dt= d[B]dt

  • -d[A]dt= 14d[B]dt


543.

In a 1st order reaction, reactant concentration C varies with time t as :

  • 1/C increases linearly with t

  • log C decreases linearly with t

  • C decreases with 1/ t

  • log C decreases with 1/ t


544.

The rate law for a reaction between the substances A and B is given by rate = k[A]n[B]m. On doubling the concentration of A and halving the concentration of B, the ratio of the new rate to the earlier rate of the reaction will be as 

  • 12m + n

  • (m + n)

  • (n - m)

  • 2(n - m)

For the reaction system,

2NO (g) + O2 (g) → 2NO2 (g)

volume is suddenly reduced to half its value by increasing the pressure on it. If the reaction is of first order with respect to O2 and second order with respect to NO; the rate of reaction will

  • diminish to one-fourth of its initial value

  • diminish to one-eighth of its initial value

  • increase to eight times of its initial value

  • increase to four times of its initial value
