1) A first order reaction is 50% completed in 1.26×1014s.How much time it take for
100% completion?
2) When a catalyst increases the rate of a chemical reaction, the rate constant
i) remains same ii) increases iii) decreases iv) depends on the order of reaction.
Reason R: The rate of change of concentration per unit time in zero order
reaction remains constant.
Reason R: Reactions of high order can follow kinetics of first order under
special conditions.

14) The activation energy is 75.2 KJ/mol in the absence of catalyst and
50.14 Kj/mol find out the times the reaction rate increase in presence of
catalyst at 250C.
15) For the decomposition of PH3 ,
4 PH3 P4 + 6H2 , rate law expression is rate = k
[PH3 ]. The rate constant is 6.0 x 10 s at 300K and Ea is 3.05 x 105J/mol.
