Question : 21
Total: 35
(a) The conversion of molecule A to B followed second order kinetics. If concentration of A increased to three times, how will it affect the rate of formation of B ?
(b) Define Pseudo first order reaction with an example
(b) Define Pseudo first order reaction with an example
Solution: 👈: Video Solution
(a) Reaction is A → B for second order kinetics
( Rate ) 1 = K [ A ] 2
( Rate ) 2 = K [ 3 A ] 2 = 9 K [ A ] 2
( Rate ) 2 = 9 × ( Rate ) 1
So the rate of formation ofB will increase by 9 times.
(b) The reaction that have higher order true rate law but are found to behave as first order are known as pseudo first order reactions.
Example : Consider the acid hydrolysis of methyl acetate.
C H 3 C O O C H 3 ( a g ) + H 2 O ( e ) → C H 3 C O O H ( a g ) + C H 3 O H ( a g )
So the rate of formation of
(b) The reaction that have higher order true rate law but are found to behave as first order are known as pseudo first order reactions.
Example : Consider the acid hydrolysis of methyl acetate.
