SECTION D
The following questions are case-based questions. Each question carries 4 (2+1+1) marks. Read the
passage carefully and answer the questions that follows.
29 Chemical kinetics is the study of reaction rates and their mechanisms. A number of factors such as
temperature, concentration of reactants, catalyst affect the rate of a reaction. The rate of a reaction is
concerned with decrease in concentration of reactants or increase in the concentration of products per
unit time. Mathematical representation of rate of a reaction is given by rate law. Rate constant is the
proportionality factor inthe rate law. Rate constant and order of a reaction can be determined from rate
law or its integrated rate equation.
Temperature dependence of rate constants is described by Arrhenius equation, k =Ae taRT
Ea corresponds to the activation energy and is given by the energy difference between activated complex
and the reactant molecules, and A (Arrhenius factor or pre-exponential factor) corresponds to the
collision frequency
a) Give any two points of diflerence between rate and rate constant of a reaction.
b)Find the half life of a reaction having the rate constant 200 s.
c) For a decomposition reaction the values of rate constant k at two different temperatures are given

this reaction. (log 3 = 04771, R = 8.314 JK-'mol:')

30. Amines can be considered as derivatives of ammonia obtained by replacement of one,two or all the
three hydrogen atoms by alkyl and/or aryl groups resulting in primary, secondary and tertiary amines
respectively. They exhibit hydrogen bonding which influence their physical properties.
The reactions of amines are governed by availability of the unshared pair of
electrons on nitrogen and the number of hydrogen atoms attached to the nitrogen atom. Presence of
amino group in aromatic ring enhances reactivity of the aronmatic amines.
Aryldiazonium salts, usually obtained from arylamines, undergo replacement of the
diazonium group with avariety of nucleophiles to provide advantageous methods for producing aryl
halides, cyanides, phenols and arenes by reductive removal of the diazo group. Coupling reaction of
aryldiazonium salts with phenols or arylamines give riseto the formation of azo dyes.
