Find the correct combination about the following plots (P,Q and R) for the variation rate of reaction with time.
Q=Reversible;P=Zero order;R=Irreversible
R=Zero order;P=Zero order;R=Irreversible
Q=Irreversible;R=Reversible;P=Zero order
P=Irreversible;Q=Reversible;R=Zero order
P=Reversible;Q=Zero order;R=Irreversible
The correct answer is (D): P=Irreversible;Q=Reversible;R=Zero order
Let's analyze the given plots (P, Q, and R) for the variation rate of reaction with time to find the correct combination.
Plot P
- The rate of reaction decreases exponentially with time.
- This suggests that the concentration of reactants is decreasing over time, which is typical for an irreversible reaction.
- Conclusion: Plot P corresponds to an irreversible reaction.
Plot Q
- There are two curves: one decreasing and one increasing, which eventually reach equilibrium.
- This indicates that initially, the forward reaction rate is higher and the backward reaction rate is lower. Over time, they become equal.
- This is characteristic of a reversible reaction where the forward and backward reaction rates eventually reach equilibrium.
- Conclusion: Plot Q corresponds to a reversible reaction.
Plot R
- The rate of reaction remains constant over time.
- This is indicative of a zero-order reaction, where the rate is independent of the concentration of reactants.
- Conclusion: Plot R corresponds to a zero-order reaction.
Correct Combination
- P: Irreversible reaction
- Q: Reversible reaction
- R: Zero-order reaction
Hence, the correct combination is:
\[\boxed{P = \text{Irreversible}; Q = \text{Reversible}; R = \text{Zero order}}\]
So the correct Answer is Option 4(D): P=Irreversible;Q=Reversible;R=Zero order
The rate of a chemical reaction is defined as the change in concentration of any one of the reactants or products per unit time.
Consider the reaction A → B,
Rate of the reaction is given by,
Rate = −d[A]/ dt=+d[B]/ dt
Where, [A] → concentration of reactant A
[B] → concentration of product B
(-) A negative sign indicates a decrease in the concentration of A with time.
(+) A positive sign indicates an increase in the concentration of B with time.
There are certain factors that determine the rate of a reaction:
