In these questions (Q. No. i-iv), a statement of assertion followed by a statement ofreason is given. Choose the correct answer out of the following choices.
- Assertion and reason both are correct statements and reason is correct explanation for assertion.
- Assertion and reason both are correct statements but reason is not correct explanation for assertion.
- Assertion is correct statement but reason is wrong statement.
- Assertion is wrong statement but reason is correct statement.
- Assertion: Rate of reaction doubles when concentration of reactant is doubled if it is a first order reaction.
Reason: Rate constant also doubles.
-
Assertion: For the first order reaction, half-life period is expressed as
Reason: The half-life time of a first order reaction is not always constant and it depends upon the initial concentration of reactants.
- Reason: The half-life time of a first order reaction is not always constant and it depends upon the initial concentration of reactants.
Reason: Acid only acts as a catalyst whereas alkali acts as one of the reactants.
- Assertion: For a first order reaction, the concentration of the reactant decreases exponentially with time.
Reason: Rate of reaction at any time depends upon the concentration of the reactant at that time.
- Assertion: Half-life period for a first order reaction is independent of initial concentration of the reactant.
Reason: For a first order reaction,
$\text{t}_\frac{1}{2}=\frac{0.693}{\text{k}},$ where k is rate constant.
