Which one of the following statements for the order of a reaction is incorrect?

1. Order can be determined only experimentally.

During the kinetic study of the reaction, 2A + B C + D, following results were obtained array|l|l|l|l| Run & [A]/ mol L-1 & [B]/ mol L-1 & Initial rate of formation \ & & & of D/ mol L-1 min-1 \ I. & 0.1 & 0.1 & 6.0 10-3 \ II. & 0.3 & 0.2 & 7.2 10-2 \ III. & 0.3 & 0.4 & 2.88 10-1 \ IV. & 0.4 & 0.1 & 2.40 10-2 \ array Based on the above data which one of the following is correct?

1. Rate = k[A]2[B]
2. Rate = k[A][B]
3. Rate = k[A]2[B]2
4. Rate = k[A][B]2

For the reaction, N2 + 3H2 2NH3, if d[NH3]dt = 2 10-4 mol L-1 s-1, the value of -d[H2]dt would be

1. 4 10-4 mol L-1 s-1
2. 6 10-4 mol L-1 s-1
3. 1 10-4 mol L-1 s-1
4. 3 10-4 mol L-1 s-1

In the reaction, BrO-3(aq) + 5Br-(aq) + 6H+ 3Br2(l) + 3H2O(l). The rate of appearance of bromine (Br2) is related to rate of disappearance of bromide ions as

1. d[Br2]dt = - 53 d[Br-]dt
2. d[Br2]dt = 53 d[Br-]dt
3. d[Br2]dt = 35 d[Br-]dt
4. d[Br2]dt = - 35 d[Br-]dt

Half-life period of a first order reaction is 1386 s. The specific rate constant of the reaction is

1. 0.5 10-2 s-1
2. 0.5 10-3 s-1
3. 5.0 10-2 s-1
4. 5.0 10-3 s-1

For the reaction A + B products, it is observed that (i) on doubling the initial concentration of A only, the rate of reaction is also doubled and (ii) on doubling the initial concentration of both A and B, there is a change by a factor of 8 in the rate of the reaction. The rate of this reaction is given by

1. rate = k[A]2[B]2
2. rate = k[A][B]2
3. rate = k[A][B]
4. rate = k[A]2[B]

The rate constants k1 and k2 for two different reactions are 1016 e-2000/T and 1015 e-1000/T, respectively. The temperature at which k1 = k2 is

1. 2000 K
2. 10002.303 K
3. 1000 K
4. 20002.303 K
