The rate of a first-order reaction does not depend on reactant concentrations; the rate of a second-order reaction does depend on reactant concentrations
The rate of a first-order reaction does depend on reactant concentrations; the rate of a second-order reaction does not depend on reactant concentrations
Explanation:

• For first order reaction, $t_{1/2}=\dfrac{0.693}{k},$ which is independent of initial concentration of reactant.
• For second order reaction, $t_{1/2}=\dfrac{1}{k[A_0]},$ which depends on initial concentration of reactant.

2 16 5
2 5 16
16 5 2
5 16 2
Explanation:

n-factor of $MnO_4^-\Rightarrow 5$
n-factor of $C_2O_4^{2-}\Rightarrow 2$
Ratio of n-factors of $4MnO_4^-$ and $C_2O_4^{2-}$ is 5 : 2. So, molar ratio in balanced reaction is 2 : 5.

$2MnO_4^-+5C_2O_4^{2-}+16H^+\rightarrow 2Mn^{2+}+ 10 CO_2 +8 H_2O$
44849.Which one of the following conditions will favour maximum formation of the product in the reaction,

High temperature and high pressure
Low temperature and low pressure
Low temperature and high pressure
High temperature and low pressure
Explanation:

$A_2(g)+B_2(g)\rightleftharpoons X_2(g)\triangle H=-XKJ?$
On increasing pressure equilibrium shifts in a direction where pressure decreases i.e. forward direction. On decreasing temperature, equilibrium shifts in exothermic direction i.e., forward direction. So, high pressure and low temperature favours maximum formation of product.

Remains unchanged
Explanation:
Half life of zero order

$800 kJ mol^{–1}$
$100 kJ mol^{–1}$
$200 kJ mol^{–1}$
$400 kJ mol^{–1}$
Explanation:

The reaction for $Δ_fH^°(XY)$
$\dfrac{1}{2}X_2(g)+\dfrac{1}{2}Y_2(g)\rightarrow XY(g)$
Bond energies of $X_2, Y_2$ and XY are X, $\dfrac{X}{2}$, X respectively.
$\therefore \triangle H=\left(\dfrac{X}{2}+\dfrac{X}{4}\right)-X=-200$
On solving, we get
$\Rightarrow-\dfrac{X}{2}+\dfrac{X}{4}=-200$
$\Rightarrow X=800kJ/mole$

$=(\pi 2p_y)^2, (\pi^*2p_x)^1=(\pi^*2p_y)^0$
$BO =\dfrac{10-5}{2}=2.5$
$CN^-:(\sigma 1s)^2, (\sigma^*1s)^2, (\sigma 2s)^2, (\sigma^*2s)^2, (\pi2p_x)^2$

$CN^+:(\sigma 1s)^2, (\sigma^*1s)^2, (\sigma 2s)^2, (\sigma^*2s)^2, (\pi2p_x)^2$
$(\pi2p_y)^2$
$BO=\dfrac{8-4}{2}=2$
Hence, option(2) should be the right answer.

$\dfrac{4\sqrt{3}}{3\sqrt{2}}$
$\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{2}}$
$\dfrac{1}{2}$
Explanation:

For BCC lattice : Z = 2, $a=\dfrac{4r}{\sqrt 3}$
For FCC lattice : Z = 4, $a=2\sqrt{2}r$
∴$\dfrac{d_{25^°c}}{d_{900^°c}}=\dfrac{\left(\dfrac{ZM}{N_Aa^3}\right)_{BCC}}{\left(\dfrac{ZM}{N_Aa^3}\right)_{FCC}}$
$\dfrac{2}{4}\left(\dfrac{2\sqrt{2}r}{\dfrac{4r}{\sqrt{3}}}\right)^3$
