The half life period for catalytic decomposition of $$A{B_3}$$ at $$50\,mm\,Hg$$ is $$4\,hrs$$ and at $$100\,mm\,Hg$$ it is $$2\,hrs.$$ The order of reaction is
$${t_{\frac{1}{2}}} \propto \frac{1}{{{{\left( p \right)}^{n - 1}}}}$$ where $$n$$ is the order of reaction
$$\eqalign{
& \frac{2}{4} = {\left( {\frac{{50}}{{100}}} \right)^{n - 1}}\,\,{\text{or}}\,\,\frac{1}{2} = {\left( {\frac{1}{2}} \right)^{n - 1}} \cr

The rate of a first-order reaction is $$0.04\,mol\,{L^{ - 1}}{s^{ - 1}}$$ at $$10$$ $$sec$$ and $$0.03\,mol\,{L^{ - 1}}{s^{ - 1}}$$ at $$20$$ $$sec$$ after initiation of the reaction. The half-life period of the reaction is
Given, order of reaction = 1
Rate of reaction at $$10\,s = 0.04\,mol\,{L^{ - 1}}{s^{ - 1}}$$
Rate of reaction at $$20\,s = 0.03\,mol\,{L^{ - 1}}{s^{ - 1}}$$
∴ Half-life period $$\left( {{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}} \right) = ?$$
We have the equation for rate-constant $$'k'$$ in first order reaction.
$$\eqalign{
& k = \frac{{2.303}}{t}{\text{log}}\frac{{{A_t}}}{{{A_0}}} = \frac{{2.303}}{{105}}{\text{log}}\frac{{0.04}}{{0.03}} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\, = \frac{{2.303}}{{105}} \times 0.124 \cr
& k = 0.028\,{s^{ - 1}} \cr
& {\text{We know that,}} \cr
& {t_{\frac{1}{2}}} = \frac{{0.693}}{k} = \frac{{0.693}}{{0.028773391\,{s^{ - 1}}}} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\, = 24.14\,s \approx 24.1\,s \cr} $$

Consider the reaction, $$A \to B.$$ The concentration of both the reactants and the products varies exponentially with time. Which of the following figures correctly describes the change in concentration of reactants and products with time?
In a reaction $$A \to B,$$ concentration of reactant decreases as concentration of product increases during the course of a reaction.

For a first order reaction, $$A \to B,$$ the reaction rate at reactant concentration of $$0.01\,M$$ is found to be $$2.0 \times {10^{ - 5}}mol\,{L^{ - 1}}{s^{ - 1}}.$$ The half-life period of the reaction is
$$\eqalign{
& {\text{For first order reaction,}} \cr
& A \to B \cr
& {\text{rate}} = k \times \left[ A \right] \cr
& {\text{Rate}} = 2.0 \times {10^{ - 5}}mol\,{L^{ - 1}}{s^{ - 1}} \cr
& \left[ A \right] = 0.01\,M \cr
& {\text{So,}}\,\,{\text{2}}{\text{.0}} \times {\text{1}}{{\text{0}}^{ - 5}} = k \times 0.01 \cr
& k = \frac{{2.0 \times {{10}^{ - 5}}}}{{0.01}}\,{s^{ - 1}} \cr
& = 2.0 \times {10^{ - 3}}{s^{ - 1}} \cr
& {\text{For first order reaction,}} \cr
& {t_{\frac{1}{2}}} = \frac{{0.693}}{k} = \frac{{0.693}}{{2.0 \times {{10}^{ - 3}}}} \cr
& = 346.5 \approx 347\,s \cr} $$

If $$'I'$$ is the intensity of absorbed light and $$'C'$$ is the concentration of $$AB$$ for the photochemical process, $$AB +$$ $$hv \to A{B^ * },$$ the rate of formation of $$A{B^ * }$$ is directly proportional to
NOTE: The rate of photochemical process varies with the intensity of absorption.
Since greater the intensity of absorbed light more photons will fall at a point, and further each photon causes one molecule to undergo reaction.

The rate of a gaseous reaction is given by the expression $$k{\left[ A \right]^2}{\left[ B \right]^3}.$$ The volume of the reaction vessel is reduced to one half of the initial volume. What will be the reaction rate as compared to the original rate $$a?$$
$${\text{Rate}} = k{\left[ A \right]^2}{\left[ B \right]^3} = a$$
When volume is reduced to one half then cone. of reactants will be doubled.
$$\eqalign{
& {\text{Rate}} = k{\left[ {2A} \right]^2}{\left[ {2B} \right]^3} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = 32\,k{\left[ A \right]^2}{\left[ B \right]^3} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = 32a \cr} $$
