ASSERTION REASONING QUESTIONS (1 Marks Each)
In the following questions a statement of Assertion (A) followed by a statement of
Reason (R) is given. Choose the correct answer out of the following choices.
(a) Both A and R are correct and the R is the correct explanation of A.
(b) Both A and R are correct but R does not explain the A.
(c) Assertion (A) is correct but Reason (R) is incorrect.
(d) Assertion (A) is incorrect but Reason (R) is correct.

5. Assertion: Molecularity has no meaning for a complex reaction.

Reason: The overall molecularity of a complex reaction is equal to the molecularity of the
slowest step.
6. Assertion: If in a zero order reaction, the concentration of the reactant is doubled, the
half-life period is also doubled.
Reason: For a zero order reaction, the rate of reaction is independent of initial
concentration.
7. Assertion: Cu+ is not stable in aqueous solution.
Reason : Cu+ ion disproportionates in aqueous solution due smaller hydration enthalpy of
smaller Cu2+ cation.

Cu/Cu2+(2M)//Ag+(0.05M)/Ag ; EoCu2+/Cu = +0.34V , EoAg+/Ag = + 0.80V
(2)
12. Prove that in A first order reaction time takes for 50 % completion is 10 times as the
time takes for 99.9 % completion? (3)

raised from 350 K to 400K. Calculate the activation energy of the reaction. (3)

CASE STUDY BASED QUESTIONS (1+1+2 )

The rate of a chemical reaction is expressed either in terms of decrease in the concentration
of reactant per unit time or increase in the concentration of products per unit time. Rate of
a reaction depends upon the nature of the reactants, surface area of the reactants,
concentration of the reactants, temperature and presence of a catalyst. Rate of reaction is
directly related to concentration of reactants. Rate Law states that the rate of a reaction
depends upon the concentration terms on which the rate of a reaction actually depends as
observed experimentally. The sum of powers of the concentration of reactants in the rate
law expression is called order of the reaction while the number of reacting species taking
part in an elementary reaction which must collide simultaneously in order to bring about
the chemical reaction is called molecularity of the reaction.
Consider the decomposition of ammonia: 2NH3 (g) —> N2 (g) + 3H2 (g)
1. Express rate of the above-mentioned reaction in terms of reactants and products.
2. How does a catalyst affect the rate of a chemical reaction?
3. If the rate constant for the above reaction is 2.5 x 10 -3 mol L-1 sec-1 at what rate Hydrogen
will appear?
