Second order consecutive irreversible reaction as shown in the bellow figure, were carried out in a constant volume isothermal batch reactor with different initial feed compositions. Reactor temperature was same in all the cases. In experiments where the ratio of concentration of B to that of A in the initial feed was less than 0.5, the concentration of B increased first, reached a maximum and then declined with time. However, for all experiments where this concentration ratio was 0.5 or above, concentration of B decreased monotonically with time right from the beginning. What is the ratio of the two rate constants (k1/k2) ?
A 1/4
B 1/2
C 2
D 4
Correct Answer: 1/4
The fractional volume change of the system for the isothermal gas phase reaction, A → 3B, between no conversion and complete conversion is___________________?
A 0.5
B 1
C 2
D 3
Correct Answer: 2
For the chemical reaction P → Q, it is found that the rate of reaction doubles as the concentration of ‘P’ is doubled. If the reaction rate is proportional to Cp n, then what is the value of ‘n’ for this chemical reaction ?
A 0
B 1
C 2
D 3
Correct Answer: 1
The rate constant of a chemical reaction decreases by decreasing the____________________?
