\((i) \ Rate \ =k{ \left[ A \right] }^{ 1 }{ \left[ B \right] }^{ 2 }\)
\(Rate \ =k{ \left[ A \right] }{ \left[ 3B \right] }^{ 2 }\)
\(Rate \ =9k{ \left[ A \right] }{ \left[ B \right] }^{ 2 }\)
If concentration of 'B' alone increases three times, the rate will increase nine times.

\(={2.303\over 100}log{[R]_0\over {40\over 100}[R]_0}\)
[60% is complete, 40% is left]
\(k={2.303\over 100}(log5-log2)\)
\(k={2.303\over 100}(0.6990-0.3010)\)

[90% is complete, 10% is left]
\(t_{90./.}={2.303\over k}log{[R]_0\over {10\over 100}[R]_0}\)
\(={2.303\times100\over 2.303\times0.3980}log10\)
\(={100\over 0.3980}=251.26min\)

12.
For a first order reaction
\(k=\frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{[R_0]}{[R]},\) where \([R]_0\) = initial concentration, [R] = conc. after time t
When half of the reaction is completed, [R] = [R]0/2. Representing, the time taken for half of the reaction to be completed, by t1/2' equation becomes:
\(k=\frac{2.303}{t_{1/2}}\log\frac{[R]_0}{[R]_0/2} \)
\(\Rightarrow\ \ \ \ t_{1/2}=\frac{2.303}{k}\log2\)
\(\Rightarrow\ \ \ \ t_{1/2}=\frac{2.303}{k}\times 0.3010\)
\(\Rightarrow\ \ \ \ t_{1/2}=\frac{0.693}{k}\)
The above equation shows that half life first order reaction is independent of the initial concentration of the reactant.
(ii) For a first order reaction
\(\Rightarrow\ t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}\)
\(\Rightarrow\ \ \ \ t_{99\cdot /\cdot }=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{100}{1}\)
\( =\frac{2.303}{k}\log 100\)
\( =\frac{2.303\times 2}{k}=\frac{4.606}{k}\)
and \(\Rightarrow\ \ t_{90\cdot /\cdot }=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{100}{10}\)
\(=\frac{2.303}{k}\log{10}=\frac{2.303}{k}\)
\(\frac{t_{99\cdot /\cdot }}{t_{90\cdot /\cdot } }=2\)
\(t_{99\cdot /\cdot }=2\times t_{90\cdot /\cdot }\)
13.
Arrhenius equation. To deduce a quantitative relationship between rate constant and temperature, Arrhenius gave the following equation:
\(k=A{ e }^{ { { -E }_{ a } }/{ RT } }\quad \quad ..(i)\)
where A is a constant of proportionality, Ea is the activation energy which represents the minimum energy that the reacting molecules must possess before undergoing a reaction, T is the absolute temperature and R is the gas constant. This equation is called Arrhenius equation.
Taking logarithm, eq. (i) may be written as
\(ln\ \ \ k=ln\ A-\frac { { E }_{ a } }{ R } \times \frac { 1 }{ T } \quad \)
Converting to logarithm to the base 10 (InX = 2.303 log X), we get
\(2.303\log { k } =2.303\log { A } -\frac { { E }_{ a } }{ RT } \quad \quad ...(ii)\)
When log k is plotted against \(\frac { 1 }{ T } \) , we get a straight line as shown in diagram.
The intercept of this line is equal to log A and slope is equal to \(-\frac { { E }_{ a } }{ 2.303R } \quad \)
Therefore,
\(Slope=-\frac { { E }_{ a } }{ 2.303R } \)
Knowing the value of slope and gas constant R, activation energy can be calculated as
\({ E }_{ a }=-2.303R\times Slope\)
Alternatively, \({ E }_{ a }\) and A can be calculated by determining the values of rate constant at two different temperatures. Le,t \({ k }_{ 1 }\) and \({ k }_{ 2 }\) are the rate constants for the reaction at two different temperatures \({ T }_{ 1 }\) and \(T_{ 2 }\) respectively. Then,
\(\log { { k }_{ 1 } } =\log { A- } \frac { { E }_{ a } }{ 2.303\quad R{ T }_{ 1 } } \)
\(and\ \ \log { { k }_{ 2 } } =\log { A- } \frac { { E }_{ a } }{ 2.303\quad R{ T }_{ 1 } } \)
Subtracting eq. (iv) from eq. (iii), we get
\(\log { { k }_{ 2 } } -\log { { k }_{ 1 } } =\frac { { E }_{ a } }{ 2.303R } \left[ \frac { 1 }{ { T }_{ 1 } } -\frac { 1 }{ T_{ 2 } } \right] \)
\(or\ log=\frac { { E }_{ a } }{ 2.303R } \left[ \frac { 1 }{ { T }_{ 1 } } -\frac { 1 }{ T_{ 2 } } \right] \)
By substituting the values of \({ k }_{ 1 }\) and\({ k }_{ 2 }\) and temperatures \({ T }_{ 1 }\) and \(T_{ 2 }\), \({ E }_{ a }\)can be calculated.

\((b) \ k=0.00510 \ { min }^{ -1 }\)
\(t=\frac { 2.303 }{ k } \log { \frac { { \left[ R \right] }_{ 0 } }{ \left[ R \right] } }\)
\(3\times 60\times 60=\frac { 2.303 }{ 0.00510 } \log { \frac { 0.1 }{ \left[ R \right] } }\)
\(\log { \frac { 0.1 }{ \left[ R \right] } } =\frac { 10800\times 0.00510 }{ 2.303 } \)
\(=23.94\)
\(\frac { 0.1 }{ \left[ R \right] } =Antilog \ 23.94\)
\(\frac { 0.1 }{ \left[ R \right] } =8.71\times { 10 }^{ 23 }\)
\(\left[ R \right] =\frac { 0.1 }{ 8.71\times { 10 }^{ 23 } }\)
\(\left[ R \right] =0.1148\times { 10 }^{ -24 }\)
\(\left[ R \right] =1.148\times { 10 }^{ -25 }M\)
