1. | large value of k indicates fast reactions. |
2. | The value of k is independent of the concentration of reactants |
3. | The value of k is independent of the concentration of products |
4. | The value of the rate constant, k, as the name suggests is always constant for a particular reaction at all temperatures. |
Assertion (A): | For an endothermic reaction, the potential energy of the reactant is more than the potential energy of the product. |
Reason (R): | Reactant molecules before converting to product form an activated complex that has lower energy than reactants as well as the products. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
3. | (A) is true but (R) is false. |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are false. |
The rate of a reaction is decreased by 3.555 times when the temperature was changed from 40°C to 30°C. The activation energy (in kJ ) of the reaction is:
(Take R=8.314 J In 3.555=1.268)
1. 100 kJ/mol
2. 120 kJ/mol
3. 95 kJ/mol
4. 108 kJ/mol
