  • B. Unit of mol dm-3
  • C. Unit as mol dm-3
  • D. Unit as mol dm-3s-1

Explanation: The correct answer is D) Unit as mol dm-3 s-1, as it represents the units commonly used to express the rate of reaction.

  • A. Time constant
  • B. Relative rate constant
  • C. Instantaneous rate constant
  • D. Velocity constant

Explanation: The relative rate constant is used when comparing the rates of different reactions, and it can vary from one reaction to another.

Correct answer: Relative rate constant
  • A. Rising curve
  • B. Falling curve
  • C. Straight line
  • D. None of these

Explanation: During the hydrolysis of an ester, ester bonds are broken down into their respective carboxylic acid and alcohol components.

Correct answer: Rising curve
  • A. rate = [A] [B]2
  • B. rate = k [A]2[B]
  • C. rate = k [A] [B]
  • D. rate = k [A]

Explanation: In this option the rate of the reaction is proportional to the product of the concentrations of A and B raised to the power of 2.

Correct answer: rate = [A] [B]2
