CHEMICAL KINETICS

1. Numericals based on first order kinetics, ( 35 minutes taken for completion of 60%
completion of the reaction, kind of problems)
2. Numericals to find the order of the reaction, based on experimental details given in a table
form.
3. Numerical problems based on half life period based on first order areactions.
4. Learn the final expression for zero order and first order rate constant.
5. Numerical based on log k vs 1/T graph.
6. Numericals based on log (k2/k1) = Ea /2.303 (1/T1 – 1/T2)
7. Difference between order and molecularity
8. Simple reactions and complex reactions
9. Methodology to write the mechanism of complex reactions.
10. Characteristics of rate constant, units of rate constant for various order reactions.
11. Average rate, instantaneous rate ( simple numericals based on this)
12. Arrhenius equation, exponential form and logarithmic form.
13. Thereshold energy, activation energy and graph for exothermic reaction and endothermic
reaction.
14. Graph for the increase in rate of the reaction with increase in temperature
(we did not discuss much about this in the class, just have a look)
(generally it is said that the rate of the reaction doubles or triples for every 10 0 rise in
temperature)

SOLUTIONS

1. Numericals based on molarity, molality, mole fraction and (w/w) %

2. Numericals based on all the four colligative properties including the vant hoff factor and
degree of dissociation and association. (solve all the problems in our class notes)
3. Definition of van’t Hoff factor
4. Raoult’s law
5. Henry’s law (including the numerical done in the class)
6. Application of henry’s law
7. Charactarestics of ideal , non ideal solutions, graphs, for positive and negative deviation,
examples too.
8. Definition of Kb and Kf with units.
9. For osmotic pressure (R =0.0821) and the pressure must be substituted only in tems of
atmosphere) (don’t use R value of your calculator. Calculator R value is different.
10. Azeotropic mixtures, minimum boiling azeotrope and maximum boiling azeotrope
11. There was a usual reasoning question like, why osmotic pressure is a colligative property?
12. State Raoult’s law of elevation of boiling point etc, write the definition of elevation of boiling
point ( or what they mean is ∆Tb = Kb.m)

ELECTROCHEMISTRY

1. Numericals based on Nernst equation

2. Numericals based on faradays first law and second law
( both based on formula method and the statement method)
( I remember spending more time in elaborating the statement method in the class)
(one problem related with finding the number of electrons using q= ne formula also)
3. Numericals based on molar conductance, equivalent conductance, specific conductance
4. Definition of molar conductance, specific conductance with correct units.
5. How molar conductance increases with dilution, whereas specific conductance decreases
with dilution? ( I spent more time in explaining this concept in class)
6. Numericals based on kohlrausch’s law
7. Statement of kohlrausch’s law
8. What is that Debye huckel onsager equation? (I hope you remember this name and the
graph related to it)
9. Role of salt bridge
10. Applications of electrochemical series ( reactivity order, feasibility etc, that nickel spatula
problem)
11. Definitions of fuel cell with example
12. Definition of primary cell, secondary cell, lead storage cell, mercury cell etc
(learn the reactions at cathode and anode )
13. Definition of corrosion, mechanism and methods to prevent it.
14. Relationship between emf and gibb’s free energy
15. Factors affecting electrode potential
16. Relationship between free energy and equilibrium constant (K)
(check this out we have not focused much on this)
17. The direction flow of current in the electrochemical cell and electrolytic cell (one marks are
asked in previous exams)
18. Differences between metallic conductance and electrolytic conductance
