PART A

Q.1 For the reaction A + B + C → products, the following initial rate data were obtained:

Initial Rate
[A] [B] [C] (M.s-1)
0.050 0.050 0.10 1.1 x 10-3
0.050 0.10 0.10 4.4 x 10-3
0.10 0.050 0.10 1.1 x 10-3
0.10 0.050 0.30 3.3 x 10-3
Find the rate law for this reaction.
Q2. For a first order reaction the following data are obtained from an experiment by
measuring the concentration as a function of time. The reaction is of the type: A → products.

time (secs.) [A]

0 1.00
50 0.500
100 ?
Determine the molar concentration of A after 100 seconds have elapsed and also determine
the value of rate constant k in sec-1.
Q.3 In the reaction of potassium (K) with methyl iodide (CH3I) to for the product KI, how
orientation of these reactant molecules play important role in product formation. Except from
this what will be the other requirements for reactant molecules to form product according to
collision theory.
PART B
Q.4 Balance the following redox equations:
a) CN- + MnO4- → CNO- + MnO2 (in basic solution)
b) Cr2O72- + C2O42- → Cr3+ + CO2 (in acidic solution)
Q.5 Ca (s) + Cd2+ (aq) → Ca2+ (aq) + Cd (s)
In the above reaction assume that initial concentration of dissolved species are 1.0 M. Predict
whether this reaction will be feasible or not in aqueous solution at 250C.
Q.6 a) For the reaction
NO(g) + O3(g) NO2(g) + O2(g),
the frequency factor A is 8.7 x 1012 s-1 and the activation energy is 63 kJ/mol. What is the rate
constant for the reaction at 75°C?
b) Can we transport HNO3 in Aluminium vessel? Justify and Predict on the basis of electrochemistry.

c) Can we stir CuSO4 solution with Nickel spoon? Justify.
