Medium MCQ +4 / -1 PYQ · JEE Mains 2024

Integrated rate law equation for a first order gas phase reaction is given by (where $\mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{i}}$ is initial pressure and $\mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{t}}$ is total pressure at time $t$)

  1. A $k=\frac{2.303}{t} \times \log \frac{P_i}{\left(2 P_i-P_t\right)}$ Correct answer
  2. B $$\mathrm{k}=\frac{2.303}{\mathrm{t}} \times \log \frac{\left(2 \mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{i}}-\mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{t}}\right)}{\mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{i}}}$$
  3. C $k=\frac{2.303}{t} \times \frac{P_i}{\left(2 P_i-P_t\right)}$
  4. D $$\mathrm{k}=\frac{2.303}{\mathrm{t}} \times \log \frac{2 \mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{i}}}{\left(2 \mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{i}}-\mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{t}}\right)}$$

Solution

<p>$$\begin{array}{llll} \mathrm{A} \rightarrow & \mathrm{B} & + & \mathrm{C} \\ \mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{i}} & 0 & & 0 \\ \mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{i}}-\mathrm{x} & \mathrm{x} & & \mathrm{x} \end{array}$$</p> <p>$$\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{P_t=P_i+x} \\ & \mathrm{P_i-x=P_i-P_t+P_i} \\ & \mathrm{=2 P_i-P_t} \\ & \mathrm{K=\frac{2.303}{t} \log \frac{P_i}{2 P_i-P_t}} \end{aligned}$$</p>
