2. What are elementary and complex reactions?
3. What is the use of integrated rate equation?
4. Mention the factors that affect the rate of a chemical reaction.
5. Write the unit of rate constant for the following:
(i) First order reaction

(2 marks question)
6. Define the following terms:
(i) Collision frequency
(ii) Rate constant (k)
7. Explain the following terms:
(i) Pseudo first order reaction

8.If the half-life period of a first-order reaction in A is 2 minutes, how long will it take [A]
to reach 25% of its initial concentration?
9. Define:
a) Average rate of a reaction
b) Instantaneous rate of a reaction
10. Write two differences between order of a reaction and molecuiarity of a reaction.
(3 marks question)
11.For a reaction A + B —> P, the rate is given by Rate = k[A]2 [B]
(i) How is the rate of reaction affected if the concentration of A is doubled?
(ii) What is the overall order of reaction if B is present in large excess?
12. A first order reaction takes 23.1 minutes for 50% completion. Calculate the time
required for 75% completion of this reaction.
13. How does change in temperature affect the rate of reaction? How can this effect the
rate constant of the reaction represented quantitatively.
14. For a chemical reaction R —> P, the variation in the concentration (R) vs.
 (i) Predict the order of the reaction.
(ii) What is the slope of the curve?
15. The rate constant of a first order reaction increases from 4 X 10 -2 to 24 X 10-2 when
the temperature changes from 300 K to 350 K. Calculate the energy of activation (JEa).
(log 2 = 0.301, log 3 = 0.4771, log 4 = 0.6021, log 6 = 0.7782)
16. Express the rate of the following reaction in terms of the formation of ammonia:
N2(g) + 3H2(g) → 2NH3(g)

17.A reaction is of second order with respect to a reactant. How will the rate of reaction
be affected if the concentration of this reactant is:(i) doubled, (ii) reduced to half?

order reaction and write the rate equation.
