For a reaction A + B β C, the rate law is found to be Rate = k[A]Β²[B]β»ΒΉ. If the concentration of A is tripled while keeping the concentration of B constant, the factor by which the reaction rate changes is:
3
1/3
1/9
9
For a zero-order reaction, the plot of concentration of reactant versus time is:
a straight line with a positive slope
a straight line with a negative slope
an exponential decay curve
a hyperbolic curve
The half-life of a first-order reaction is 20 minutes. What fraction of the reactant remains after 80 minutes?
1/2
1/4
1/8
1/16
For a reaction with the rate law: Rate = k[A]^[1/2][B], if the concentration of B is doubled while keeping [A] constant, how does the half-life change?
The half-life doubles.
The half-life is halved.
The half-life remains unchanged.
The half-life is quadrupled.
A reaction between gases X and Y follows the rate law: Rate = k[X]Β²[Y]. If the concentration of X is tripled and the concentration of Y is halved, the new rate will be:
1.5 times the original rate
4.5 times the original rate
9 times the original rate
0.75 times the original rate
Two molecules A and B collide, but no reaction occurs. Which of the following MUST be true?
The molecules did not collide with the correct orientation.
The molecules are not reactive under any conditions.
The collision did not have sufficient energy to overcome the activation energy barrier.
The temperature of the system is too low for any reaction to occur.
For a reaction with an activation energy () of 50 kJ/mol, how much would a 10Β°C increase in temperature increase the rate constant, according to the Arrhenius equation (assuming ) at room temperature (approx. 300K)?
Approximately half
Approximately double
Approximately quadruple
Negligible change
A reaction proceeds via a two-step mechanism. The first step is a fast, reversible equilibrium with a small equilibrium constant. The second step is slow. Which of the following is MOST likely true about the overall reaction rate?
The overall rate will be determined solely by the rate of the slow step.
The overall rate will be independent of the concentration of the intermediate.
The overall rate will be dependent on the concentrations of the reactants in both steps.
The equilibrium constant of the first step will have no effect on the overall rate.
