If the time required for half change is inversely proportional to the square of initial concentration and the velocity depends on the units in which the concentration term is expressed, then the order of reaction is
Rate constant for a first order reaction does not depend upon reaction time, extent of reaction and the initial concentration of reactants ; but it is a function of reaction temperature. In a chemical reaction, the time required to reduce the concentration of reactant from 100 gm moles/litre to 50 gm moles/litre is same as that required to reduce it from 2 gm moles/litre to 1 gm mole/litre in the same volume. Then the order of this reaction is
An irreversible first order reaction is being carried out in a CSTR and PFR of same volume. The liquid flow rates are same. The relative conversion will
Overall rate of reaction in a heterogenous catalytic reaction depends upon the mass and energy transfer from the fluid to solid surface and its rate of reaction is usually __________ the concentration of catalyst, if it does not entail a chain mechanism.
