  • A. 2nd
  • B. 3rd
  • C. 1st
  • D. Zero

Explanation: It is second order reaction. Ozone reacts readily with nitric oxide to yeild nitrogen dioxide and oxygen

Correct answer: 2nd
  • A. 1st order reaction
  • B. 2nd order reaction
  • C. Negative order of reaction

Explanation: The rate of reaction is inversely proportional to the concentration of the reactant in a second-order reaction (option b).

Correct answer: 2nd order reaction
  • A. a x b
  • B. a - b
  • C. b - a
  • D. a + b

Explanation: The exponents a+b represents the order of reaction.

Correct answer: a + b
  • A. Direction of reaction
  • B. Extent of reaction
  • C. Order of reaction
  • D. Temperature of reaction

Explanation: Option C "Order of Reaction " is the correct answer. Order of reaction may be defined as the number of molecules or reactants…

Correct answer: Order of reaction
  • A. Second order
  • B. Zero order
  • C. First order
  • D. Third order

Explanation: In a second-order reaction, the relationship between half-life and concentration is such that the half-life is inversely proportional to…

Correct answer: Second order
  • A. Number of reactant molecules
  • B. Number of moles of reactants
  • C. Number of moles of products
  • D. Order of Reactions

Explanation: The formula for the half-life of a reaction, t1/2 = 1 / [A(a(n-1))], includes the term (n-1), where n represents the order of the reaction.

Correct answer: Order of Reactions
  • A. It's in excess
  • B. It's a solvent
  • C. It's a solute
  • D. Both A and B

Explanation: A Pseudo first-order reaction can be defined as a second-order or bimolecular reaction that is made to behave like a first-order reaction.

Correct answer: Both A and B
  • A. Extent of a reaction
  • B. Order of a reaction
  • C. Specific rate of a reaction
  • D. Enthalpy of reaction

Explanation: The Order of reaction refers to the relationship between the rate of a chemical reaction and the concentration of the species taking part…

Correct answer: Order of a reaction
  • A. 2
  • B. 0
  • C. 1
  • D. 3

Explanation: The given chemical reaction is: Rate = k[NO][O3] The order of a chemical reaction with respect to a specific reactant is determined by the…

Correct answer: 2
  • A. Conditions of temperature
  • B. Initial Concentration of the compound
  • C. Presence of Catalyst
  • D. All of these

Explanation: Half-life ( t1/2t1/2 ) is a timescale on which the initial population is decreased by half of its original value notice that, for…

Correct answer: Initial Concentration of the compound
  • A. Fractional Order
  • B. Pseudo First Order
  • C. First Order
  • D. Second Order

Explanation: Explanation:The reaction is pseudo first order. Water is in excess as it is the solvent as a result will not affect the reaction order.

Correct answer: Pseudo First Order
  • A. Concentration of the product
  • B. Concentration of the reactant
  • C. Temperature of the reaction
  • D. Surface area of the product

Explanation: In zero-order reactions, the rate is independent of the concentration of the reactants.

Correct answer: Concentration of the reactant
  • A. Bimolecular
  • B. Unimolecular
  • C. Trimolecular
  • D. Tetramolecular

Explanation: The molecularity of a reaction is defined as the number of reacting molecules that collide simultaneously to bring about a chemical…

Correct answer: Bimolecular
