For a first-order reaction, the rate constant as a function of half-life is given as

(0.6931)/k

0.6931×k

0.6931

k/(0.6931)

For a first-order reaction, the rate constant is expressed in terms of initial concentration C{A{0}} and final concentration C{A} as

C{A} = C{A{0}} × k

C{A} = C{A{0}} × e^(-kt)

C{A} = C{A{0}} × kt

C{A} = CA{{0}} × e^kt

For a reaction with negative order n, which of the following is true about the reaction rate constant?

k = - r{A}

k = 1

k = - (r{A} / C{A}^n)

k = - (r{A} * C{A}^n)

Which of the following theories does not propose the temperature dependence of rate constant?

Arrhenius theory

Collision theory

Transition state theory

Bohr’s theory

If the rate of a zero-order reaction is 10 * [mol/(s*m^3] and the reaction time is 5 s, then the rate constant is

1 s^(-1)

2 s^(-1)

5 s^(-1)

10 s^(-1)

Which among the following is true for liquid phase reactions of order n?

ln (-dC/dt) = ln k + n*(ln C)

ln (-dC/dt) = ln k + ln C

ln (-dC/dt) = n*(ln k) + ln C

ln (-dC/dt) = ln k + (ln C)/n

For the parallel reactions A → B and A → C, of rate constants k1 and k2 respectively and both of order 1, the rate expression is given as

- r{A} = k1*C{A} + k2*C{A}

- r{A} = k1*C{A} – k2*C{A}

- r{A} = k2*C{A}

- r{A} = k1*C{A}

For any order n, the rate constant is expressed as

- r{A}

- r{A} × C{A}^n

- r{A} × C{A}

- r{A} / C{A}^n
