The rate of the reaction, 2NO + Cl2 $$ \to $$ 2NOCl is given by the rate equation rate = k[NO]2[Cl2]. The value of the rate constant can be increased by
A
increasing the temperature
B
increasing the concentration of NO
C
increasing the concentration of the Cl2
D
doing all of these.
Explanation
The value of rate constant can be increased by
increasing the temperature and is independent
of the initial concerntration of the reactants.

Half-life period of a first order reaction is 1386 seconds. The specific rate constant of the reaction is
A
0.5 $$ \times $$ 10$$-$$2 s$$-$$1
B
0.5 $$ \times $$ 10$$-$$3 s$$-$$1
C
5.0 $$ \times $$ 10$$-$$2 s$$-$$1
D
5.0 $$ \times $$ 10$$-$$3 s$$-$$1.
Explanation
Specific rate constant
k = $${{0.693} \over {{t_{1/2}}}}$$
= $${{0.693} \over {1386}}$$
= 0.5 $$ \times $$ 10-3 sec-1

MCQ (Single Correct Answer)

For the reaction A + B $$ \to $$ products, it is observed that
(i) on doubling the initial concentration of A only, the rate of reaction is also doubled and
(ii) on doubling the initial concentration of both A and B, there is a change by a factor of 8 in the rate of the reaction.
The rate of this reaction is given by
A
rate = k[A]2 [B]2
B
rate = k[A] [B]2
C
rate = k[A] [B]
D
rate = k[A]2 [B]
Explanation
R = k[A]m[B]n
... (i)
2R = k[2A]m[B]n
... (ii)
8R = k[2A]m[2B]n
... (iii)
from (i), (ii) and (iii), m = 1, n = 2
So, rate = k[A][B]2

In the reaction,
BrO$$_{3(aq)}^ - $$ + 5Br$$_{(aq)}^ - $$ + 6H+ $$ \to $$ 3Br2(l) + 3H2O(l).
The rate of appearance of bromine (Br2) is related to rate of disappearance of bromide ions as
