Rate Laws and Order of Reactions starts at 11 and continues till grade 12. QuestionsToday has an evolving set of questions to continuously challenge students so that their knowledge grows in Rate Laws and Order of Reactions. How you perform is determined by your score and the time you take. When you play a quiz, your answers are evaluated in concept instead of actual words and definitions used.
See sample questions for grade 11
A reaction has the rate law: rate = k[A]^0.5. What is the order of the reaction with respect to A?
Explain why the rate law for a reaction cannot generally be predicted from the stoichiometric equation alone.
Given the rate law: rate = k[A]^2[B], what is the order of the reaction with respect to B?
If doubling the concentration of reactant A doubles the rate of the reaction, what is the order of the reaction with respect to A?
A reaction has the rate law: rate = k. What is the effect of increasing the concentration of the reactant?
A reaction has the rate law: rate = k[A][B]. If the initial rate is 0.10 mol/L·s when [A] = 0.2 mol/L and [B] = 0.5 mol/L, what is the value of k?
A reaction has the rate law: rate = k[A][B]^2. If [A] is doubled and [B] is tripled, by what factor does the rate increase?
A reaction has the rate law: rate = k[A]^2. If the rate constant k is 0.5 L/mol·s and [A] = 0.4 mol/L, what is the rate?
Which of the following best describes a second-order reaction? (1) The rate is proportional to the square of the concentration of one reactant. (2) The rate is proportional to the product of the concentrations of two reactants. (3) Both (1) and (2). (4) Neither (1) nor (2).
Which of the following best describes the rate law for a reaction? (1) It expresses the relationship between the rate of a reaction and the concentrations of reactants. (2) It gives the mechanism of the reaction. (3) It shows the products formed. (4) It gives the equilibrium constant.
Which of the following is a characteristic of a zero-order reaction? (1) The rate is constant. (2) The rate depends on the concentration of reactant. (3) The rate increases as the reaction proceeds. (4) The rate is zero at all times.
Which of the following is a zero-order reaction with respect to A? (1) rate = k[A] (2) rate = k (3) rate = k[A]^2 (4) rate = k[B]
