For the reaction, \(R \rightarrow P\), the \(\log \left([ R ]_0 /[ R ]\right)\) verses time \(( t )\) plot is given below. What is the order of reaction and what are the units of rate constant ?

- A Zero order, \(s ^{-1}\)
- B First order, \(s ^{-1}\)
- C Second order, \(mol ^{-1} L s ^{-1}\)
- D Zero order, \(mol L ^{-1} s^{-1}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) First order, \(s ^{-1}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Plot of \(\log ([ R ]_0 /[ R ])\) vs \(t\) is linear, indicating first order reaction. For a first order reaction, units of rate constant \(k\) are \(s^{-1}\).

- The properties which depend on the number of solute particles irrespective of their nature relative to the total number of particles in the solution are called colligative properties. These are relative lowering of vapour pressure of the solvent, depression of freeaing point of the solvent, elevation of boiling point of the solvent and osmotic pressure of the solution. All of these properties help in calculating the observed molar mass of the solute.
Determination of osmotic pressure is considered best for the determination of molecular mass of the solute.

Repeated amplification is achieved by the use of a thermostable DNA polymerase (isolated from a bacterium, Thermusaquaticus}), which remain active during the high temperature induced denaturation of double stranded DNA. The separated DNA fragments can be visualised only after staining the DNA with a compound known as ethidium bromide followed by exposure to UV radiation. The separated bands of DNA are cut out from the agarose gel and extracted from the gel piece. The convention for naming these enzymes is the first letter of the name comes from the genus and the second two letters come from the species of the prokaryotic cell from which they were isolated, e.g., EcoRI comes from Escherichiacoli} RY 13. In EcoRI, the letter 'R' is derived from the name of strain. Roman numbers following the names indicate the order in which the enzymes were isolated from that strain of bacteria. Stanley Cohen and Herbert Boyer accomplished this in 1972 by isolating the antibiotic resistance gene by cutting out a piece of DNA from a plasmid which was responsible for conferring antibiotic resistance. Since the DNA is enclosed within the membranes, we have to break the cell open to release DNA, RNA, protein, polysaccharides etc. The RNA can be removed by treatment with ribonuclease whereas proteins can be removed by treatment with protease. Other molecules can be removed by appropriate treatments and purified DNA ultimately precipitates out after the addition of chilled ethanol.
