100

Rate of reaction is defined as the ______concentration of reactants per time

Decrease

100

The rate constant is dependent on

T

100

Molecularity of reaction refers to:

Number of reactant molecules taking part in elementary step

100

For the reaction A → B, the rate is given by k[A]². The order is:

2

100

N2(g)+3H2(g)→2NH3(g)

Homogeneous

200

Represents rate law for reaction: A + B → C?

rate = k[A][B]

200

 The unit of rate constant for a first-order reaction is:

time-1

200

A reaction where reactants form only one product directly is called:

Single Reaction

200

Which can have fractional value?

Order of reaction

200

NO2+CO→NO+CO2 , Rate=k[NO2][CO] 

Elementary reaction

300

How does temperature generally affect the rate of reaction?

It increases the rate of reaction.

300

If temperature increases, rate constant:

Always Increases
300

A reaction where product of first step becomes reactant of next is:

Consecutive/Series

300

The sum of powers of concentration terms in rate law is:

Order of Reaction

300

2H2O2→2H2O+O2 , Rate=k[H2O2] 

Non-elementary

400

What does a negative rate indicate when measured for reactant concentration?

Decrease in reactant concentration over time.

400

The slope of plot ln k vs 1/T gives:

-E/R

400

Activation energy is:

Minimum energy needed for reaction

400

Does order of reaction always match molecularity?

No

400

2H2O2---->2H2O+O2 , MnO2=Catalyst

Catalytic Reaction

500

Name two factors that affect the rate of reaction of homogeneous reactions besides temperature.

concentration and pressure

500

Rate constant doubles when temperature increases from 300 K to 310 K, approximate Ea is:

55 kJ/mol

500

What is an activated complex (or transition state)?

A short-lived, high-energy intermediate formed during a reaction.

500

What is the order of reaction if the rate is independent of concentration?

Zero
