Q 2650591414.     (a) What is rate of reaction? Write two factors that affect the rate of reaction.
(b) The rate constant of a first order reaction increases from `4 × 10^-2` to `8 × 10^-2`
when the temperature changes from 27°C to 37°C. Calculate the energy of activation (Ea).
(log 2 = 0.301, log 3 = 0.4771, log 4 = 0.6021)

`text( OR )`

(a) For a reaction A + B ⟶ P, the rate is given by
Rate `= k [A] [B]^2`
(i) How is the rate of reaction affected if the concentration of B is doubled?
(ii) What is the overall order of reaction if A is present in large excess?

(b) A first order reaction takes 23.1 minutes for 50% completion. Calculate the time required for 75% completion of this reaction.
(log 2 = 0.301, log 3 = 0.4771, log 4 = 0.6021)
