Question
The conversion of molecules X to Y follows second order kinetics. If concentration of X is increased to three times how will it affect the rate of formation of Y?
Solution
The reaction \[\ce{X -> Y}\] follows second order kinetics.
Therefore, the rate equation for this reaction will be:
Rate = k[X]2
If the concentration of X is increased to three times, then [r'] = k[3X]2
`("r'")/"r" = ("k"[3"X"]^2)/("k"["X"]^2)` = 9
Hence, the rate of formation will increase by 9 times.

The value of rate constant of a pseudo first order reaction ______.
In a reaction if the concentration of reactant A is tripled, the rate of reaction becomes twenty seven times. What is the order of the reaction?
Assertion: Order of the reaction can be zero or fractional.
Reason: We cannot determine order from balanced chemical equation.
Assertion: Order and molecularity are same.
Reason: Order is determined experimentally and molecularity is the sum of the stoichiometric coefficient of rate determining elementary step.

Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow:
The rate of reaction is concerned with decrease in the concentration of reactants or increase in the concentration of products per unit of time. It can be expressed as instantaneous rate at a particular instant of time and average rate over a large interval of time. A number of factors such as temperature, concentration of reactants, catalyst affect the rate of reaction. Mathematical representation of rate of a reaction is given by rate law: Rate = k[A]x [B]y x and y indicate how sensitive the rate is to change in concentration of A and B. Sum of x + y gives the overall order of a reaction. |
