Ques. 1JEE Main 2026, 4 April (Evening Shift)

Consider the given graph showing variation of reactant concentration with time. Three different reactions were started with identical initial concentration of reactants. Which of the following statement is correct? [figure]

  1. The order of all the three reactions is same.
  2. The rate constant of reaction 3 is larger than the rate constant of reaction 2 if the order of reaction is same for both.
  3. The SI unit of rate constant of reaction 1 is s-1.
  4. Thermal decomposition of HI on gold surface is an example of reaction 2.

Answer

(2) The rate constant of reaction 3 is larger than the rate constant of reaction 2 if the order of reaction is same for both.

Solution

Curve 1 is a straight line ⇒ [R] = [R]0 - kt ⇒ zero order reaction.

Curves 2 and 3 fall exponentially ⇒ not zero order (e.g. first order, [R] = [R]0 e-kt).

(1) ✗ Reaction 1 differs in order from reactions 2 and 3.

(2) ✓ Same order and same [R]0, but [R] in curve 3 falls faster at every instant ⇒ larger rate ⇒ k3 > k2.

(3) ✗ For zero order, k = [R]0 - [R]t ⇒ unit = mol L-1 s-1 (SI: mol m-3 s-1), not s-1.

(4) ✗ Decomposition of HI on gold surface is a zero order reaction ⇒ it corresponds to reaction 1, not 2.

Answer: (2)
