$$3A \to B + C$$ It would be a zero order reaction, when
A
the rate of reaction is proportional to square of concentration of $$A$$
B
the rate of reaction remains same at any concentration of $$A$$
C
the rate remains unchanged at any concentration of $$B$$ and $$C$$
D
the rate of reaction doubles if concentration of $$B$$ is increased to double
Answer :
the rate of reaction remains same at any concentration of $$A$$
For reaction,
$$3A \to B + C$$
If it is zero order reaction, then the rate remains same at any concentration of $$A\,{\text{or}}\,\frac{{dx}}{{dt}} = k\left[ {{A^0}} \right]$$
$$\left[ {{A^0} = 1} \right].$$
It means that for zero order reaction, rate is independent of concentration of reactants.

In a chemical reaction $$A$$ is converted into $$B.$$ The rates of reaction, starting with initial concentrations of $$A$$ as $$2 \times {10^{ - 3}}M$$ and $$1 \times {10^{ - 3}}M,$$ are equal to $$2.40 \times {10^{ - 4}}M{s^{ - 1}}$$ and $$0.60 \times {10^{ - 4}}M{s^{ - 1}}$$ respectively. The order of reaction with respect to reactant $$A$$ will be
263.
When a biochemical reaction is carried out in laboratory in the absence of enzyme then rate of reaction obtained is $${10^{ - 6}}$$ times, then activation energy of reaction in the presence of enzyme is
A
$$\frac{6}{{RT}}$$
B
different from $${E_a}$$ obtained in laboratory
C
$$P$$ is required
D
can't say anything
Answer :
different from $${E_a}$$ obtained in laboratory
The presence of enzyme (catalyst) increases the speed of reaction by lowering the energy barrier, i.e., a new path is followed with lower activation energy.
Here $${E_T}$$ is the threshold energy. $${E_a}$$ and $${E_{a1}}$$ is energy of activation of reaction in absence and presence of catalyst respectively.
$$\eqalign{
& k = A{e^{ - \,\frac{{Ea}}{{RT}}}} \cr
& {\text{If}}\,\,T \to \infty ,\,k = A \cr} $$

The plot of concentration of the reactant Vs time for a reaction is a straight line with a negative
slope. The reaction follows a rate equation of
A

D

A catalyst is a substance which
A
increases the equilibrium concentration of the product
B
changes the equilibrium constant of the reaction
C
shortens the time to reach equilibrium
D
supplies energy to the reaction
Answer :
shortens the time to reach equilibrium
A catalyst decreases the activation energy of the reactants and thus shortens time of reaction. So (C) is the correct option.

For a reaction, $$2NO + 2{H_2} \to {N_2} + 2{H_2}O,$$ the possible mechanism is
\[\begin{align}
& 2NO\rightleftharpoons {{N}_{2}}{{O}_{2}} \\
& {{N}_{2}}{{O}_{2}}+{{H}_{2}}\xrightarrow{\text{slow}}{{N}_{2}}O+{{H}_{2}}O \\
& {{N}_{2}}O+{{H}_{2}}\xrightarrow{\text{fast}}{{N}_{2}}+{{H}_{2}}O \\
\end{align}\]
What is the rate law and order of the reaction?
A
$${\text{Rate}} = \left[ {{N_2}{O_2}} \right],{\text{order}} = 1$$
B
$${\text{Rate}} = \left[ {{N_2}{O_2}} \right]\left[ {{H_2}} \right],{\text{order}} = 2$$
C
$${\text{Rate}} = {\left[ {{N_2}{O_2}} \right]^2},{\text{order}} = 2$$
D
$${\text{Rate}} = {\left[ {{N_2}{O_2}} \right]^2}\left[ {{H_2}} \right],{\text{order}} = 3$$
The slowest step of the reaction is rate determining step.
$$\eqalign{
& {N_2}{O_2} + {H_2} \to {N_2}O + {H_2}O \cr
& {\text{Rate of reaction}} = \left[ {{N_2}{O_2}} \right]\left[ {{H_2}} \right] \cr
& {\text{Hence, order of reaction}} = 2 \cr} $$

The radiations from a naturally occurring radioactive substance, as seen after deflection by a magnetic field in one direction, are :
A
definitely alpha rays
B
definitely beta rays
C
both alpha and beta rays
D
either alpha or beta rays
Answer :
either alpha or beta rays
NOTE : $$\alpha $$ - and $$\beta $$ -rays, made up of positively & negatively charged particles and are deflected by a magnetic field in opposite directions; $$\gamma $$ -rays remain undeflected. (as they do not have charge).

The half life of a radioactive element is $$20\,\min .$$ The time interval between the stages of its $$33\% $$ and $$67\% $$ decay is
A
$$40\,\min $$
B
$$20\,\min $$
C
$$30\,\min $$
D
$$25\,\min $$
Answer :
$$20\,\min $$
Change in 67% to 33% is almost half the concentration change.
\[67\% \xrightarrow[{{\text{change}}}]{{{\text{Half}}}}33.5\left( { \approx 33\% } \right)\]
So time interval between the stages of its 33% and 67% decay is same as $${t_{\frac{1}{2}}} = 20\,\min .$$

The rate of a reaction increases four-fold when the concentration of reactant is increased 16 times. If the rate of reaction is $$4 \times {10^{ - 6}}mol\,{L^{ - 1}}{s^{ - 1}}$$ when the concentration of the reactant is $$4 \times {10^{ - 4}}\,mol\,{L^{ - 1}}.$$ The rate constant of the reaction will be
A
$$2 \times {10^{ - 4}}\,mo{l^{\frac{1}{2}}}{L^{ - \frac{1}{2}}}{s^{ - 1}}$$
B
$$1 \times {10^{ - 2}}{s^{ - 1}}$$
C
$$2 \times {10^{ - 4}}mo{l^{ - \frac{1}{2}}}{L^{\frac{1}{2}}}{s^{ - 1}}$$
