SECTION-D

29. Read the following passage and answer the question that follow:

The rate of a reaction, which may also be called its velocity or speed, can be defined
with relation to the concentration of any of the reacting substances, or to that of any
product of the reaction. If the species chosen is a reactant which has a concentration
(C) at time t the rate is - dC/dt , while, the rate with reference to a product having a
concentration x at time t is dx/dt . Any concentration units may be used for expressing
the rate, thus, if moles litre are employed for concentrations and seconds for the time,
 the units for the rate are mol L-1 s -1. For gas reactions pressure units are sometimes
used in place of concentrations, so that legitimate units for the rate would be (mmHg)
s -1and atm s-1. The order of a reaction concerns the dependence of the rate upon the
concentrations of reacting substances, thus, if the rate is found experimentally to be
proportional to the αth power of the concentration of one of the reactants A, to the
βth power of the concentration of a second reactant B, and so forth, via.,

Rate = KCAα CBβ

the overall order of the reaction is simply

n= α + β

Such a reaction is said to be of the αth order with respect to the substance A, the βth
order with respect to B and so on.

d. A first order reaction takes 40 min for 30% decomposition. Calculate

30. Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow:

The carbon-oxygen double bond is polarised in aldehydes and ketones due to higher
electronegativity of oxygen relative to carbon. Therefore they undergo nucleophilic
addition reaction with a number of nucleophiles such as HCN, NaHSO3, alcohols,
ammonia derivatives and Grignard reagents Aldehydes are easily oxidised by mild
oxidising agents as compared to ketones. The carbonyl group of carboxylic acid does
not give reactions of aldehydes and ketones. Carboxylic acids are considerably more
acidic than alcohols and most of simple phenols.
