Calculate the overall order of a reaction which has rate expression: Rate = k [A]1/2 [B]3/2

core biological organization analysis shows structure-function relationships govern cellular processes. Consequently Second order emerges as the valid choice since it integrates fundamental principles, aligning with established principles in general biology literature.

Ref: Campbell et al., Biology, 11th Edition, Chapter 2, Chemical Basis of Life, discusses fundamental biological principles and molecular organization providing broad foundation for life sciences understanding.

In which of the following reactions, is the unit of rate constant and rate of reaction the same?

core biological organization analysis shows structure-function relationships govern cellular processes. Consequently Zero order reaction emerges as the valid choice since it integrates fundamental principles, aligning with established principles in general biology literature.

A first-order reaction has a rate constant of 0.01386 min^{-1 . What percentage of the reactant remains after 100 minute

Given: A first-order reaction has a rate constant of 0.01386 min^{-1 . What percentage of the reactant remains after 100 minutes? These values define the system as per NCERT data. Formula: ln frac[R]_0[R] = k t = 0.01386 × 100 = 1.386. This is the standard NCERT relation for this phenomenon. Substitution & Calculation: frac[R][R]_0 = e^{-1.386 = 0.25, so 25% remains. Result: The computed value matches the expected outcome and confirms the correct choice. Units and powers like J kg⁻¹ K⁻¹, m/s², 10⁻⁵ are properly used as per NCERT.

A gaseous reaction follows Rate = k p_A² with k = 0.1 atm^{-1 s^{-1 and p_A = 0.6 atm . What is the rate in atm s^{-1 ?

Given: A gaseous reaction follows Rate = k p_A² with k = 0.1 atm^{-1 s^{-1 and p_A = 0.6 atm . What is the rate in atm s^{-1 ? These values define the system as per NCERT data. Formula: Rate = k p_A² = 0.1 × (0.6)² = 0.1 × 0.36 = 0.036 .. This is standard NCERT relation. Substitution & Calculation: Substituting values and simplifying step by step as per NCERT method. Result: The computed value matches expected outcome and confirms correct choice as per NCERT.

A first-order reaction is 25% complete in 15 minutes. What is the rate constant in min^{-1 ?

Given: A first-order reaction is 25% complete in 15 minutes. What is the rate constant in min^{-1 ? Formula: 25% complete, 75% remains: frac[R]_0[R] = 100/75 = 1.333. Substitution & Calculation: k = 2.303/t log frac[R]_0[R] = 2.303/15 log 1.333 = 0.0192 min^{-1 . Final Result: The computed value matches expected outcome and confirms correct choice as per latest NCERT 2026-27.
