Approach Solution -2

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

Rate of a Chemical Reaction

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.

Factors Determining the Rate of a Reaction:

There are certain factors that determine the rate of a reaction:

  1. Temperature
  2. Catalyst
  3. Reactant Concentration
  4. Chemical nature of Reactant
  5. Reactant Subdivision rate
