CASE STUDY QUESTIONS

18. Most of the chemical reactions are accelerated by increase in temperature T.
At a particular temperature T, all the molecules of reactants do not have the same
kinetic energy but the fractions of molecules having particular kinetic energies at a
particular temperature remain constant.
19 In some reactions, the rate is apparently independent of the reactant 4

concentration. The rates of these zero-order reactions do not
varywith increasing nor decreasing reactants concentrations. This
means that the rate of the reaction is equal to the rate constant, k of
that reaction.
This property differs from both first-order reactions and second-order
reactions. Nitrous oxide will decompose exothermically into nitrogen
and oxygen, at a temperature of approximately 575 °C
2N2O−→ 2N2(g)+O2(g)
This reaction in the presence of a hot platinum wire (which acts as a
catalyst) is zero-order. In this case, the N2O molecules that react are
limited to those that have attached themselves to the surface of the
solid catalyst. Once all of the sites on the limited surface of the catalyst
have been occupied, additional gas-phase molecules must wait until
the decomposition of one of the adsorbed molecules frees up a surface
site.
Answer the following questions:
a. The given example of decomposition of nitrous oxide
represents
zero order reaction, write another example of zero order reaction.
b. Using the integrated form of the rate law, determine the rate
constant k of a zero-order reaction if the initial concentration of
substance A is 1.5 M and after 120 seconds the concentration of
substance A is 0.75 M.
c. Define Half-life of a reaction

Using the substance from the previous problem (b), what is the
half-life of substance A if its original concentration is 1.2 M?
OR
Define order of a reaction
If the original concentration is reduced to 1.0 M in the previous
problem, what will be the effect on the half-life?
20. For the reaction: 2NO(g) + Cl2(g) → 2NOCl(g) the following 4

data were collected. All the measurements were taken
at 263 K.
i) The molecularity of the reaction is

(a) 1 (b) 2 (c) 3 (d) 4
ii) The expression for rate law is
(a) r = k[NO]Cl2 (b) r = k[NO]2[Cl2]
