Rate constant for a first order reaction does not depend upon reaction time, extent of reaction and the initial concentration of reactants ; but it is a function of reaction temperature. In a chemical reaction, the time required to reduce the concentration of reactant from 100 gm moles/litre to 50 gm moles/litre is same as that required to reduce it from 2 gm moles/litre to 1 gm mole/litre in the same volume. Then the order of this reaction is

Which of the following is an independent variable for a batch tank reactor with uniform concentration and temperature ?

For reactions in parallel viz A P (desired product) and A Q (unwanted product), if the order of the desired reaction is higher than that of the undesired reaction, a

For a gaseous phase reaction, rate of reaction is equal to K. C_A . C_B. If the volume of the reactor is suddenly reduced to l/4th of its initial volume, then the rate of reaction compared to the original rate will be __________ times.

In a reversible chemical reaction having two reactants in equilibrium, if the concentration of the reactants are doubled, then the equilibrium constant will
