JEE Advanced2013ChemistryChemical KineticsActual
In the reaction, P + Q → R + S the time taken for 75 % reaction of P is twice the time taken for 50 % reaction of P . The concentration of Q varies with reaction time as shown in the figure.The overall order of the reaction is:
Options
- A2
- B3
- C0
- D1
Correct answer
D. 1
Step-by-step solution
The reaction is: P + Q → R + S rate   of   the   reaction = k P x Q y The concentration of Q varies with time as per the graph by the equation. Q = Q 0 - kt ​ i.e. Zero-order kinetics. ⇒ y = 0 With respect to reactant P let time taken for 50 % completion of the reaction is a . Then the time is taken for 75 % complication will be 2 a . P → t 50 %   P 2 → t 75 %   P 4 at t = 0     ;   [ P ] 0 % =   P t =   t 50 %   ;   [ P ] 50
