13 The rate of chemical reaction
Increases as the reaction proceeds
Decreases as the reaction proceeds

Remains constant as reaction proceeds



14 The factor that affects the rate of reaction is

15 In general, the rate of a reaction can be increased by all the
factors except

8 Rusting of iron Is an example of________ reaction
Slow

10 Powdered marble reacts more rapidly with HCl than the chips of marble
because:
Surface area of powdered marble is more that of chips of marble and
hence there is more collisions between the molecules of reactants
Number of molecules increases.
Energy of activation decreases
Marble chips will not react with HCl



11 The term — dx/dt in the rate expression refers to the
instantaneous rate of the reaction
Average rate of the reaction
increase in concentration of the reactants
Change in concentration of the reactants with time
4 The minimum additional energy, above the average internal energy,
which the reacting molecules must possess so that their collision result
in a reaction is known as
Kinetic energy
Threshold energy
Activation energy
Thermodynamic energy



5 The reactions with the high value of energy of activation are
Fast
Slow
Moderate
Not feasible

photochemical



7 In a reaction: $2A \rightarrow B + 2C$, which of the statement is true?
Rate of formation of B = Rate of disappearance of A
Rate of formation of C= Rate of formation of B
Rate of disappearance of A = Rate of formation of C
Rate of disappearance of A = Rate of formation of B
1 Which of the following statements about the kinetics of the reaction
$H_2(g) + Br_2(g) \rightarrow 2HBr(g)$ is definitely true?
The reaction is first order with respect to bromine, Br2.
The reaction is second order overall.
The presence of hydrogen bromide, HBr, inhibits the rate of the reaction
It is not possible to determine anything about the kinetics of the
reaction from the stoichiometry.



2 Milk sours more rapidly in summer than in winter because
in summer, the temperature Is high due to which effective collisions
increase and hence the rate of reaction becomes fast
in winter, number of molecules per unit volume increases and hence the
rate of reaction becomes fast
in summer, the energy of activation decreases and hence the of reaction
becomes fast
none of the above
