• 269 kJ mol^-1

• 34.7 kJ mol^-1

• 15.1 kJ mol^-1

A reaction having equal energies of activation for forward and reverse reactions has

• $∆$H = 0

• $∆$H = $∆$G = $∆$S = 0

The rate of a certain reaction is given by, rate = k [H⁺]ⁿ. The rate increases 100 times when the pH changes from 3 to 1. The order (n) of the reaction is

• 0

• 1

• 1.5

The bacterial growth follows the rate law, dN/dt = kN where k is a constant and 'N' is the number of bacteria cell at any time. If the population of bacteria (number of cell) is doubled in 5 min find the time in which the population will be eight times of the initial one?

A piece of wood from an archaeological sample has 5.0 counts min^-1 per gram of C-14, while a fresh sample of wood has a count of 15.0 min^-1g^-1. If half-life of C-14 is 5770 yr, the age of the archaeological sample is

• 8,500 yr

• 9,200 yr

• 10,000 yr

Two gases X (molecular weight M_x) and Y (molecular weight M_y; M_Y > M_X) are at the same temperature T in two different containers. Their root mean square velocities are C_X and C_Y respectively. If the average kinetic energies per molecule of two gases X and Y are E_X and E_Y respectively then which of the following realation(s) is (are) true?

• E_X > E_Y

• C_X > C_Y

• E_X = E_Y = (3/2) RT

• E_X = E_Y = (3/2) k_BT
