If the total number of M atoms is n, then the number of tetrahedral voids = 2n
Given that \(\left( \frac { 1 }{ 3 } \right) ^{rd}\) of tetrahedral voids are occupied.
i.,e \(\left( \frac { 1 }{ 3 } \right) \times 2n\) are occupied by N atoms
\(\therefore\)M : N = n : \(\left( \frac { 2 }{ 3 } \right) n\)
= 1 : \(\frac { 2 }{ 3 }\)
Hence M3N2 = 3 : 2
17.
\(\left( \frac { r_{c^+} }{ r_{A^-} } \right) \) = \(\left( \frac { 0.98 \times 10^{-10 }}{ 1.81 \times 10^{-10} } \right) = 0.54\)
It is in the range of 0.414 to 0.732, hence the coordination number of each ion is 6.

\(k=\frac { 2.303 }{ t } log\frac { \left[ { A }_{ 0 } \right] }{ \left[ A \right] } \)
\(k=\frac { 1 }{ t } ln \frac { \left[ { A }_{ 0 } \right] }{ \left[ A \right] } \)
\(e^{kt}=\frac { \left[ { A }_{ 0 } \right] }{ \left[ A \right] }\)
[A] = [A0] ekt
In this case
k = x min-1 and [A0] = 0.01 M = 1 x 10-2M
t = 1 hour = 60 min
[A] = (1 x 10-2)e-60x
19.
for n ≠ 1 t1/2 = \(\frac{2^{n-1} -1}{(n- 1) k[A_{0}]^{-1}}\)
for n = 0; t1/2 = \(\frac{1}{2 k[A_{0}]^{-1}}\)
t1/2 = \(\frac{[A_{0}]}{2 k}\)
t1/2 α [A0] ...(1)
Given [A0] = 0.002 M; t1/2 = 10 min
[A0] = 0.04M; t1/2 = ?
Substitute in (1)
10 min α 0.02 M...(2)
t1/2 α 0.04M ....(3)
(3)(2)
⇒ t1/2 / 10 min
= 0.04 M/0.02 M
t1/2 = 2 x 10 min = 20 min
20.
\(k=A{ e }^{ -\left( \frac { { E }_{ a } }{ RT } \right) }\)
In k = In A - \({ \left( \frac { { E }_{ a } }{ R } \right) }\) \(\left( \frac { 1 }{ T } \right) \)
This equation is of the form of a straight line y = mx+c
A plot of In k Vs \(\left( \frac { 1 }{ T } \right) \) gives a straight line with a negative slope.
21.
For a first order reaction

25.
sc ⇒ 2r = a
⇒ r = a/2
bcc ⇒ 4r = \( \sqrt{3a} \) ⇒ r = \(\frac { \sqrt{3a}} {4}\)
fcc ⇒ 4r ⇒ \( \sqrt{2a} \) ⇒ r = \(\frac { \sqrt{2a}} {4} = \frac { a} {2\sqrt{2a}}\)
\(\left( \frac { a }{ 2 } :\frac { \sqrt { 3 } }{ 4 } a:\frac { a }{ 2\sqrt { 2 } } \right) \)
26.
If a is the length of the side, then the length of the leading diagonal passing through the body centered atom is \(\sqrt{3a} \)

30.
Given:
At low pressure the reaction follows first order therefore,
Rate α [reactant]1
Rate α (surface area)
At high pressure due to the complete coverage of surface area, the reaction follows zero order.
Rate α [reactant]0
Therefore the rate is independent of surface area.
31.
A catalyst provides a new path to the reaction with low activation energy. i.e., it lowers the activation energy.
32.
(rate constant K is equal to collision frequency A if Ea = 0)
In zero order reactions, increase in the concentration of reactant does not alter the rate.
So statement (i) is wrong.
\(k=A{ e }^{ -\left( \frac { { E }_{ a } }{ RT } \right) }\)
if Ea = 0 so, statement (ii) is correct, and statement (iii) is wrong
k = Ae0
k = A
In k = In A - \({ \left( \frac { { E }_{ a } }{ R } \right) }\) \(\left( \frac { 1 }{ T } \right) \)
This equation is of the form of a straight line y = mx+c
A plot of In k Vs \(\left( \frac { 1 }{ T } \right) \) gives a straight line with a negative slope
So statement (iv) and (v) are wrong.

\(= \left[ \frac { 400 k - 200K }{200 k \times 400 k } \right] \)
\(E_{a} = \frac{ 0.3010 \times 2.303 \times 8.314 JK^{-1}mol^{-1} \times 200K \times 400 K}{200 K}\)
Ea = 2305 J mol-1

\(6.909=\frac { 2.303 }{ t } \log\frac { \left[ {100 } \right] }{ \left[ 25\right] } \)
\(t =\frac { 2.303 }{ 6.909 } \log(4)\)

\(=\left(\frac{2.303 \times 10^{-2} hour^{-1 }\times 1806 min}{2.303}\right) = \log \left(\frac{0.25}{A}\right) \)
\(=\left(\frac{ 1806 \times 10 ^{-2}}{60}\right) = \log \left(\frac{0.25}{A}\right) \)
