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 reaction to an equal extent. It does not alter the Gibbs energy of the reaction.
The rate of a gaseous reaction is given by r = k[A] [B]. If the volume of the reaction vessel is suddenly reduced to (1/4)th of its initial value, the reaction rate relating to the initial rate will become
- A 2 times
- B 1/4 times
- C 16 times
- D 1/16 times
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) 16 times
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Initial rate: \( r_1 = k[A]_1[B]_1 \) New concentrations: \( [A]_2 = \frac{n_A}{V/4} = 4[A]_1 \), \( [B]_2 = \frac{n_B}{V/4} = 4[B]_1 \) New rate: \( r_2 = k[A]_2[B]_2 = k(4[A]_1)(4[B]_1) = 16 k[A]_1[B]_1 \) Thus, \( r_2 = 16 r_1 \)

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, preasure 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 \(=k|A|^a[B]^y\)
Here \(k\) is the rate constant
\(x+y\) gives the overall order of a reaction, whereas \(x\) and \(y\) represent the order with respect to the reactants \(A\) and \(B\), respectively.

Adsorption is a surface phenomenon and it differs from absorption which occurs throughout the body of the substance that absorbs. In physiosorption the attractive forces are mainly van der Waal's forces while in chemisorption ionic/covalent bonds are formed between particles of adsorbent and adsorbate. The catalytic activity of finely divided iron in Haber's process of ammonia manufacture can be explained by adsorption theory. Adsorption being an exothermic process, the heat of adsorption is utilised in enhancing the rate of the reaction. Adsorption has many applications being used in gas masks, control of humidity, chromatograph separation, curing diseases etc.
The modern adsorption theory lists the following steps for heterogeneous catalysis
(A) Adsorption of reactant molecules on the surface of a catalyst
(B) Occurrence of chemical reaction on the surface of a catalyst
(C) Desorption of products from a catalyst surface
(D) Diffusion of reactants to the surface of the catalyst
