Explanation / Answer

Solution

12)

The rate of disappearance of N2O5 = -1/2[N2O5]/dt = the rate of appearance of O2 ([O2]/dt)= 2.40 mol/min

-1/2[N2O5]/dt = 2.40 mol/min

- [N2O5]/dt = 2 x 2.40 mol/min = 4.8 mol/min

Option (A) is correct.

13)

“(B) raise the boiling point and lower the freezing point” is correct.

14)

ln (A0/At) = kt

ln (0.42/1.0) = 0.76 x t

t = ln (0.42) / 0.76

= 0.8675 / 0.76 = 1.14 sec

Option (B) is correct.

15)

The reaction is second order reaction with respect to the hypobromite ion BrO-.

Option (C) 2 is correct.

16) In this reaction, Br is a catalyst. Thus option (B) Br is correct.

17) Reaction is first order reaction. Thus option ‘(B) first’ is correct.

Rate = k[(CH3)3CCl]1
