Assertion-Reason

The following questions consist of two statements. Mark

(a) If both statements are CORRECT, and Statement II is the CORRECT explanation of
Statement 𝐈.
(b) If both statements are CORRECT. and Statement II is NOT the CORRECT explanation
of Statement I.
(c) If Statement I is CORRECT, but Statement II is INCORRECT.
(d) If Statement I is INCORRECT, but Statement II is CORRECT.

1 Statement I: A fractional-order reaction must be a complex reaction.

Statement II: Fractional order of rate determining step equals to overall order of a
complex reaction.
2 Statement I: The time of completion of reactions of type: 𝐴 → products (order < 1) may
be determined.
Statement II: Reactions with order ≥ 1 are either too slow or too fast and hence. the
time of completion cannot be determined.
3 Statement I: The temperature coefficient of a single-step reaction may be negative.
Statement II: The rate of reaction having negative order with respect to a reactant
decreases with the increase in concentration of that reactant.
4 Statement I: The overall rate of a reversible reaction may decrease with the increase in
temperature.
Statement II: When the activation energy of forward reaction is less than that of
backward reaction, then the increase in the rate of backward reaction is more than that of
forward reaction on increasing the temperature.
5 Statement I: In a reversible endothermic reaction. activation energy of forward reaction
is higher than that of backward reaction.
Statement II: The threshold energy of forward reaction is more than that of backward
reaction.
6 Statement I: A catalyst provides an alternative path to the reaction in which conversion
of reactants into products takes place quickly.
Statement II: The catalyst forms an activated complex of lower potential energy with the
reactants by which more number of molecules are able to cross the barrier per unit time.

7 Statement I: In zero-order reactions, half life is half of the completion time of reaction.
Statement II: Half-life is half of the time for completion of reaction of any order.
8 Statement I: 2 A + B → 2C + D must be a third-order reaction.
Statement II: The rate constant for a third-order reaction has unit L2 𝑚𝑜𝑙 −2 𝑠 −1 .
9 Statement I: For zero-order reaction (𝐴 → 𝐵), successive half-life of reation decreases
with the progress of reaction
Statement II: Rate of zero-order reaction remains unchanged with the progress of
reaction.
10 Statement I: The concentration of pure solid and pure liquid is taken as constant at
constant temperature.
Statement II: The concentration of pure solid and liquids depends on density and
molecular mass.
