Bombardment of aluminium by $$\alpha$$-particle leads to its artificial disintegration in two ways : (i) and (ii) as shown. Products X, Y and Z, respectively, are
Plots showing the variation of the rate constant ($$k$$) with temperature ($$T$$) are given below. The point that follows Arrhenius equation is
For a first-order reaction A $$\to$$ P, the temperature (T) dependent rate constant (k) was found to follow the equation $$\log k = - (2000){1 \over T} + 6.0$$. The pre-exponential factor A and activation energy $$E_a$$, respectively, are
Under the same reaction conditions, initial concentration of 1.386 mol dm$$^{-3}$$ of a substance becomes half in 40 seconds and 20 seconds through first order and zero order kinetics, respectively. Ratio $$\left( {{{{k_1}} \over {{k_0}}}} \right)$$ of the rate constants for first order ($$k_1$$) and zero order ($$k_0$$) of the reactions is:
