The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

$ BaC{{l}_{2}} \rightleftharpoons B{{a}^{2+}}+2C{{l}^{-}} $
Initial 0.01M
At equilibrium $ (0.01-x)MxM2xM $
$ i=\frac{(0.01-x)+x+2x}{0.01} $
$ =\frac{0.01+2x}{0.01}=1.98 $
$ x=0.0049 $
% $ \,\alpha=\frac{x}{0.01}\times 100=\frac{0.0049\times 100}{0.01}=49 $ %

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
