Question 1.
Explain a graphical method for the determination of activation energy.
Answer:
Activation energy can be determined graphically from the Ink vs 1/T graph. From the graph,
In k = ln(Ae^-E_a/RT)
In k = In A + in e^-E_a/RT
In k = In A + -E_a /RT

When a graph is plotted between 1/T and ln k, a straight line is obtained.
Slope of the line = ^–E_a/R
Therefore, E_a = slope × R

Question 12.
For the reaction:
2A + B → A₂B

Answer:
Initial rate = k[A][B]²
But [A] = 0.1 M, [B] = 0.2 M and
k = 2.0 × 10^-6 mol^-2 L² s^-1
∴ Initial rate
= 2.0 × 10^-6 mol^-2 L² s^-1 × 0.1 M × (0.2 M)²
= 8 × 10^-9 M s^-1

From the equation 2A + B → A₂B it is clear that when 2 moles of A are used then 1 mol of B is used in the same time. Therefore, when A has been reduced to 0.06 M , 0.04 M of A and hence 0.02 M of B have reacted. Thus,
Concentration of A left = [A] = 0.06 M
Concentration of B left = [B] = (0.2 M – 0.02 M) = 0.18 M
Rate = k[A][B]²
= 2.0 × 10^-6 mol^-2 L² s^-1 × 0.06M × (0.18 M)²
= 3.89 × 10^-9M s^-1

Question 1.
For the reaction:
2A + B → A₂B
the rate = k[A][B]² with k = 2.0 × 10^-6 mol^-2 L² s^-1. Calculate the initial rate of the reaction when [A] = 0.1 mol L^-1 [B] = 0.2 mol L^-1. Calculate the rate of reaction after [A] is reduced to 0.06 mol L^-1.
Answer:
Initial rate = k[A][B]²
But [A] = 0.1 M, [B] = 0.2 M and
k = 2.0 × 10^-6 mol^-2 L² s^-1
Initial rate
= 2.0 × 10^-6 mol^-2 L² s^-1 × 0.1 M × (0.2 M)²
= 8 × 10^-9 M s^-1

From the equation 2A + B → A₂B it is clear that when 2 moles of A are used then 1 mol of B is used in the same time. Therefore, when A has been reduced to 0.06 M , 0.04 M of A and hence 0.02 M of B have reacted. Thus,
Concentration of A left = [A] = 0.06 M.
Concentration of B left = [B] = (0.2 M – 0.02 M) = 0.18 M
Rate = k[A][B]²
= 2.0 × 10^-6 mol^-2 L² s^-1 × 0.06M × (0.18 M)²
= 3.89 × 10^-9M s^-1
