Read the Passage carefully and answer the Questions
Kinetic studies not only help us to determine the rate of a chemical reaction but also describe the conditions by which the reaction rates can be altered.
The factors such as concentration, temperature, pressure and catalyst affect the rate of a reaction.
The speed of a reaction or the rate of a reaction can be defined as the change in concentration of a reactant or product in unit time.
Rate \(=k[A]^x[B]^y\)
Here \(k\) is the rate constant
\(z+y\) gives the overall order of a reaction, whereas \(z\) and \(y\) represent the order with respect to the reactants \(A\) and \(B\), respectively.
The order of a reaction which does not exist is:

Observe the diagram and answer the question given below .

Each trophic level has a certain mass of living material at a particular time called as:

We use microbes and microbially derived products almost every day. Bacteria called lactic acid bacteria (LAB) grow in milk to convert it into curd. The dough, which is used to make bread, is fermented by yeast called Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Microbes are used to produce industrial products like lactic acid, acetic acid and alcohol, which are used in a variety of processes in the industry. However, certain bacteria, which grow anaerobically on cellulosic material, produce large amount of methane along with CO2 and H2. These bacteria are collectively called methanogens, and one such common bacterium is Methanobacterium. These bacteria are commonly found in the anaerobic sludge during sewage treatment. Microbes are also used for commercial and industrial production of certain chemicals like organic acids, alcohols and enzymes.
Examples of acid producers are Aspergillus niger (a fungus) of citric acid. You are familiar with the commonly used antibiotic Penicillin. Do you know that Penicillin was the first antibiotic to be discovered, and it was a chance discovery? Statins produced by the yeast Monascus purpureus have been commercialised as blood-cholesterol lowering agents. It acts by competitively inhibiting the enzyme responsible for synthesis of cholesterol.
Which one of the following statements is not true with respect to microbes?

The order of reaction with rate law expression \(\frac{d[R]}{dt} = -k\) is:

Arrange the following compounds in increasing order of their acidity:
(A) Phenol
(B) Ethanol
(C) Benzoic acid
(D) p-Nitrobenzoic acid

Two conducting spheres of radii 5 cm and 10 cm are given a charge of 15 \(\mu\)C each. If the two spheres are now joined by a conducting wire, the charge on the smaller sphere will be :
