2A k B is a zero-order reaction, where k = 1.0 mol L-1 min-1. If the initial concentration of A is 2 M, then the time taken to complete 75\% of the reaction will be

1. 2.0 min
2. 1.5 min
3. 0.75 min
4. 1.0 min

If the rate constant of a reaction is 0.03 s-1, how much time does it take for 7.2 mol L-1 concentration of the reactant to get reduced to 0.9 mol L-1 ? (Given: 2 = 0.301)

1. 210 s
2. 21.0 s
3. 69.3 s
4. 23.1 s

If the half-life (t1/2) for a first order reaction is 1 minute, then the time required for 99.9\% completion of the reaction is closest to :

1. 5 minutes
2. 10 minutes
3. 2 minutes
4. 4 minutes

Activation energy of any chemical reaction can be calculated if one knows the value of

1. rate constant at standard temperature
2. probability of collision
3. orientation of reactant molecules during collision
4. rate constant at two different temperatures

For a certain reaction, the rate = k[A]2[B], when the initial concentration of A is tripled keeping concentration of B constant, the initial rate would

1. increase by a factor of six
2. increase by a factor of nine
3. increase by a factor of three
4. decrease by a factor of nine
