Which among the following is a false statement?
Show Hint
- Rate of zero order reaction is independent of initial concentration of reactant.
- Half-life of a zero order reaction is inversely proportional to the rate constant.
- Molecularity of a reaction may be zero.
- For a first order reaction, \( t_{1/2} = 0.693/k \).
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Step 2: Thus, the correct answer is option (3).

- Rate of a Chemical Reaction
The speed at which a chemical reaction takes place is called the rate of reaction. The rate of reaction depends on various factors like concentration of the reactants, temperature, etc. The relation between the rate of reaction and the concentration of reacting species is represented by the equation \( r = k[A]^x[B]^y \), where \( x \) and \( y \) are the order of the reaction with respect to the reactants A and B, respectively. The overall order of the reaction is \( x + y \). The rate of reaction can also be increased by the use of a catalyst which provides an alternate pathway of lower activation energy. It increases the rate of forward and backward reactions to an equal extent. It does not alter the Gibbs energy of the reaction.

Questions Asked in CBSE CLASS XII exam
A ladder of fixed length \( h \) is to be placed along the wall such that it is free to move along the height of the wall.
Based upon the above information, answer the following questions:(iii) (b) If the foot of the ladder, whose length is 5 m, is being pulled towards the wall such that the rate of decrease of distance \( y \) is \( 2 \, \text{m/s} \), then at what rate is the height on the wall \( x \) increasing when the foot of the ladder is 3 m away from the wall?
