Chem 11 CH-4 WORK SHEET-1
In the first series of experiments, we hold the initial concentration of NO constant and
vary H2. If you look at the data, it is clear the rate is directly proportional to the
concentration of H2. (When the concentration of H2 doubles, the rate doubles). This
means in the general expression:
rate = k[H2]m [NO]n m must equal 1.
In the second series, [H2 ]is held constant, while [NO] varies. It is apparent the rate is
proportional to the square of [NO]. When [NO] is doubled (from 0.10 to 0.20) the rate
increases by a factor of 22 = 4 ( from 0.10 to 0.40). Therefore = 2.
Sol: Rate = k [NO] m [Cl2] Let the concentrations of NO and Cl2 be x and y, respectively.
therefore n = 1; m = 3 – 1 = 2
Example 4: 1 mL of methyl acetate was added to 20 mL of 0.5 N HCl and 2mL of the mixture
was withdrawn from time tc during the progress of hydrolysis of the ester and titrated with a
solution of alkali. The amount of alkali needed for titration at various intervals is given below:
QUESTIONS
Q.1 For a reaction A → 2B, rate of disappearance of ‘A’ is related to the rate of appearance
of B’ by the expression (A) – d[A]/dt = 1/4 d[B]/dt (B) – d[A]/dt = d[B]dt
half-life did not change. When the concentration of A alone was doubled, the rate increased
by two times. The unit of rate constant for this reaction is
(A) L mol –1 s–1 (B) No unit (C) mol L–1 s–1 (D) s–1
Q.5 The half-life period of a fist order chemical reaction is 6.93 minutes. The time required for
monoxide. If the concentration of carbon monoxide is doubled with everything else kept the
