2.303 x 10-2 hour-1 = \(\frac { 2.303 }{ 1806 min } log\frac { \left[ { 0.25 }_{ } \right] }{ \left[ A \right] } \)
\(=\left(\frac{2.303 \times 10^{-2} hour^{-1 }\times 1806 min}{2.303}\right) = \log \left(\frac{0.25}{A}\right) \)
\(=\left(\frac{ 1806 \times 10 ^{-2}}{60}\right) = \log \left(\frac{0.25}{A}\right) \)
\(= 0.301 = \log \left(\frac{0.25}{A}\right) \)
\(=\log2 = \log \left(\frac{0.25}{A}\right) \)

Ea = 2.305 kJ mol-1
19.
(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.
20.
A catalyst provides a new path to the reaction with low activation energy. i.e., it lowers the activation energy.
21.
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.

For a first order reaction
t1/2 = \(\frac { 0.693 }{ { k }}\)
t1/2 does not depend on the initial concentration and it remains constant (whatever may be the initial concentration)
t1/2 = 2.5 hrs
31.
\(k=A{ e }^{ -\left( \frac { { E }_{ a } }{ RT } \right) }\)
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.
32.
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)

t1/2 = 2 x 10 min = 20 min
33.
\(k=\frac { 2.303 }{ t } log\frac { \left[ { A }_{ 0 } \right] }{ \left[ A \right] } \)
\(k=\frac { 1 }{ t } ln \frac { \left[ { A }_{ 0 } \right] }{ \left[ A \right] } \)
\(e^{kt}=\frac { \left[ { A }_{ 0 } \right] }{ \left[ A \right] }\)
[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
34.
\(\left( \frac { r_{c^+} }{ r_{A^-} } \right) \) = \(\left( \frac { 0.98 \times 10^{-10 }}{ 1.81 \times 10^{-10} } \right) = 0.54\)
It is in the range of 0.414 to 0.732, hence the coordination number of each ion is 6.
35.
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 : \(\left( \frac { 2 }{ 3 } \right) n\)

Hence M3N2 = 3 : 2

If number of close packed atoms = N, then
The number of Tetrahedral holes formed = 2N
The number of Octahedral holes formed = N
