$\mathrm{K}_{2}=2 \mathrm{~K}_{1}$, on increase temperature by $9 \mathrm{~K}$
$\mathrm{T}_{2}=309 \mathrm{~K}$
$\mathrm{Ea}=?$
$\log \frac{\mathrm{K}_{2}}{\mathrm{~K}_{1}}=\frac{\mathrm{Ea}}{2.3 \mathrm{R}}\left[\frac{\mathrm{T}_{2}-\mathrm{T}_{1}}{\mathrm{~T}_{2} \cdot \mathrm{T}_{1}}\right]$
$\log 2=\frac{\mathrm{Ea}}{2.3 \times 8.3}\left[\frac{9}{309 \times 300}\right]$
$\mathrm{Ea}=\frac{0.3 \times 309 \times 300 \times 2.3 \times 8.3}{9}$

(Given : ln 2 = 0.693)
Explanation:
$\mathrm{A}_{\mathrm{t}}=\mathrm{A}_0 \times \mathrm{e}^{-\mathrm{k}_{\mathrm{A}} \mathrm{t}}$
$\mathrm{A}_{\mathrm{t}}=\mathrm{A}_0 \times \mathrm{e}^{\left(\frac{-\ln 2}{100} \times \mathrm{t}\right)}$
$\mathrm{B}_{\mathrm{t}}=\mathrm{B}_0 \times \mathrm{e}^{\left(\frac{-\ln 2}{50} \times \mathrm{t}\right)}$
$\mathrm{A}_0=\mathrm{B}_0$
$\& \mathrm{~A}_{\mathrm{t}}=4 \mathrm{~B}_{\mathrm{t}}$
$\mathrm{e}^{-\frac{\ln 2}{100} \times \mathrm{t}}=4 \times \mathrm{e}^{-\frac{\ln 2}{50} \times \mathrm{t}}$
$\mathrm{e}^{\frac{\ln 2}{100} \times \mathrm{t}}=4$
$\mathrm{e}^{\frac{\ln 2}{100} \times \mathrm{t}}=4$
$\frac{\ln 2}{100} \times \mathrm{t}=\ln 4=2 \ln 2$

Explanation:
$ =\frac{1}{r_{4}}\left(\frac{d[D]}{d t}\right) $
$\frac{\mathrm{d}[\mathrm{D}]}{\mathrm{dt}}=\frac{\mathrm{r}_{4}}{\mathrm{r}_{2}}\left(\frac{-\mathrm{d}[\mathrm{B}]}{\mathrm{dt}}\right)$
$ \frac{r_{4}}{r_{2}}=\frac{3}{2} $
$\frac{-\mathrm{d}[\mathrm{B}]}{\mathrm{dt}}=\frac{\mathrm{r}_{2}}{\mathrm{r}_{1}}\left(\frac{-\mathrm{d}[\mathrm{A}]}{\mathrm{dt}}\right) \Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{r}_{2}}{\mathrm{r}_{1}}=2$

$\log K = 20.35 - {{2.47 \times {{10}^3}} \over T}$
We know
$\log K = \log A - {{{E_a}} \over {2.303RT}}$
$ \Rightarrow {{{E_a}} \over {2.303RT}} = 2.47 \times {10^3}$
${E_a} = 2.47 \times {10^3} \times 2.303 \times {{8.314} \over {1000}}$ KJ/mole

[Given R = 8.31 J K$-$ mol$-$1; log 6.36 $\times$ 10$-$3 = $-$2.19, 10$-$4.79 = 1.62 $\times$ 10$-$5]
Explanation:
K600 = x $\times$ 10$-$6s$-$1
Ea = 209 kJ/mol
Applying;
$\log \left( {{{{K_{{T_2}}}} \over {{K_{{T_1}}}}}} \right) = {{ - {E_a}} \over {2.303R}}\left( {{1 \over {{T_2}}} - {1 \over {{T_1}}}} \right)$

$\log \left( {{{6.36 \times {{10}^{ - 3}}} \over {{K_{600}}}}} \right) = {{ + 209 \times 1000} \over {2.303 \times 8.31}}\left( {{{100} \over {700 \times 600}}} \right)$
log(6.36 $\times$ 10$-$3) $-$ logK600 = 2.6

Explanation:
k $\times$ t = 2.303 log${{{A_0}} \over {{A_t}}}$
k is the rate constant
t is the time
A0 is the initial conc.
At is the conc. at time, t
Using formula,
A0 = 100, At = 90 min 1 min
So, K $\times$ 1 = 2.303 $\times$ log${{100} \over {90}}$
= 2.303 $\times$ (log 10 $-$ 2 log 3)
= 2.303 $\times$ (1 $-$ 2 $\times$ 0.477)
= 0.10593
= 105.93 $\times$ 10$-$3
$\approx$ 106
Hence, the rate constant for viral inactivation is 106.

From formula we know,
$Kt = \ln \left( {{{100} \over {100 - x}}} \right)$

$k = {{2.303} \over {570}}\left[ {\log ({{10}^2}) - \log {2^5}} \right]$
$k = {{2.303} \over {570}} \times 0.5$
$k = 2 \times {10^{ - 3}}{s^{ - 1}}$
Explanation:
After time 't' min : $\left[ A \right] = 16\left[ B \right]$
$\left[ A \right] = \left[ {{A_0}} \right]{e^{ - {k_A}t}}$
$\left[ B \right] = \left[ {{B_0}} \right]{e^{ - {k_B}t}}$
$ \Rightarrow a\,.\,{e^{ - {k_A}t}} = 16a{e^{ - {k_B}t}}$
$ \Rightarrow {e^{ - \left( {{k_A} - {k_B}} \right)t}} = 16$
$ \Rightarrow \left( {{k_B} - {k_A}} \right)t = \ln 16$
$ \Rightarrow \ln 2\left( {{1 \over {18}} - {1 \over {54}}} \right)t = 4\ln 2$

[Given : The rate constant of the reaction is 10-5 s-1 at 500 K.]
Explanation:
Slope $ = {{{E_a}} \over {2.303R}} = - 10000$
${\log _{10}}{{{K_2}} \over {{K_1}}} = {{{E_a}} \over {2.303R}} \times \left[ {{1 \over {{T_1}}} - {1 \over {{T_2}}}} \right]$
${\log _{10}}{{{{10}^{ - 4}}} \over {{{10}^{ - 5}}}} = 10000 \times \left[ {{1 \over {500}} - {1 \over T}} \right]$
$ \Rightarrow $ $1 = 10000 \times \left[ {{1 \over {500}} - {1 \over T}} \right]$
$ \Rightarrow $ ${1 \over {10000}} = {1 \over {500}} - {1 \over T}$
$ \Rightarrow $ ${1 \over T} = {1 \over {500}} - {1 \over {10000}}$
$ \Rightarrow $${1 \over T} = {{20 - 1} \over {10000}} = {{19} \over {10000}}$

$\Rightarrow {{K \times t} \over {2.303}} = \log {{{{[A]}_0}} \over {{{[A]}_t}}}$
${{\ln 2 \times 9} \over {10/3 \times 2.303}} = \log \left( {{1 \over F}} \right) \Rightarrow \log \left( {{1 \over F}} \right) = 0.8124$ ($\because$ $k = {{\ln 2} \over {{t_{1/2}}}}$)
$\log \left( {{1 \over F}} \right) = 81.24 \times {10^{ - 2}}$
x = 81.24 or x $\approx$ 81
(Rounded off to the nearest integer)
Explanation:

It is a first order isomerisation reaction. Integrated rate law for 1st order reaction is
$kt = \ln {{{{[A]}_0}} \over {{{[A]}_t}}}$ ...(i)
Here,
k = rate constant
${[A]_0}$ = initial concentration
${[A]_t}$ = concentration at time 't'
Given, k = 3.3 $\times$ 10$-$4 s$-$1
${[A]_0} = 100 \Rightarrow {[A]_t} = 100 - 40 = 60$
Put values in Eq. (i), we get
$3.3 \times {10^{ - 4}}{s^{ - 1}} \times t = \ln {{100} \over {60}}$
t = 1547.95 s = 25.79 min (1 min = 60 s or 1s = ${1 \over {60}}$ min) = 26 minutes

Choose from the options given below, the correct one regarding order of reaction is :
$2X + Y\buildrel k \over \longrightarrow P$ the rate of reaction is ${{d[P]} \over {dt}} = k[X]$. Two moles of X are mixed with one mole of Y to make 1.0 L of solution. At 50 s, 0.5 mole of Y is left in the reaction mixture. The correct statement(s) about the reaction is(are)
(Use : ln 2 = 0.693)
Take; R = 8.314 J mol–1 K–1 ln 3.555 = 1.268
Explanation:
$ \therefore $ $\ln {{{k_2}} \over {{k_1}}} = {{{E_a}} \over R}\left( {{1 \over {{T_1}}} - {1 \over {{T_2}}}} \right)$
$ \Rightarrow $ ln (3.555) = ${{{E_a}} \over {8.314}}\left( {{1 \over {303}} - {1 \over {313}}} \right)$
$ \Rightarrow $ Ea = ${{1.268 \times 8.314 \times 3.3 \times 313} \over {10}}$
= 99980.7 = 99.98 kJ/mol $ \simeq $ 100 kJ/mol
(Take ln 5 = 1.6094; R = 8.314 J mol–1 K–1)
Explanation:
T1 = 300K, T2 = 315K
As per question KT2 = 5KT2 as molecules activated are increased five times so K will increases five time.
$\ln \left( {{{{K_{{T_2}}}} \over {{K_{{T_1}}}}}} \right)$ = ${{{E_a}} \over R}\left( {{1 \over {{T_1}}} - {1 \over {{T_2}}}} \right)$
$ \Rightarrow $ ln 5 = ${{{E_a}} \over R}\left( {{{15} \over {300 \times 315}}} \right)$
$ \Rightarrow $ Ea = ${{1.6094 \times 8.314 \times 300 \times 315} \over {15}}$
= 84297.47 Joules/mole
(Take : log 2 = 0.30; log 2.5 = 0.40)
Explanation:
$ \Rightarrow $ t1/2 = 45 min
Rate constant, K = ${{0.693} \over {45}}$ min-1
Time for completion of 60% of the reaction,
t60% = ${{2.303} \over K}\log {{10} \over 4}$
= ${{2.303 \times 45} \over {0.693}}\log 2.5$
= 60 min
(Given, R = 8.3 J mol–1 K–1, $\ln \left( {{3 \over 2}} \right) = 0.4$, e–3 = 4.0)
Explanation:
K = A${e^{ - {{{E_a}} \over {RT}}}}$
$\ln \left( {{{{k_{400}}} \over {{k_{300}}}}} \right) = {{{E_a}} \over R}\left( {{1 \over {300}} - {1 \over {400}}} \right)$
$ \Rightarrow $ $\ln \left( {{{60} \over {40}}} \right) = {{{E_a}} \over R}\left( {{{100} \over {300 \times 400}}} \right)$
$ \Rightarrow $ $\ln \left( {{3 \over 2}} \right) = {{{E_a}} \over {1200R}}$
$ \therefore $ Ea = 0.4 × 1200 × 8.3 = 3984 J/mol
Ea = 3.984 kJ/mol = 3.98 kJ/mol
Explanation:
t = ${1 \over k}\ln {{\left[ {{A_0}} \right]} \over {\left[ A \right]}}$
= ${{\left( {{t_{1/2}}} \right)} \over {0.693}} \times 2.303{\log _{10}}10$
= 10 × 2.303 × 1
= 23.03 years
Shortcut Method :
t90% = ${{10} \over 3} \times {t_{50\% }}$
= ${{10} \over 3} \times 6.93$ = 23.1
A $ \to $ P1 ; B $ \to $ P2 ; C $ \to $ P3 ; D $ \to $ P4,
The order of the above reactions are a, b, c, and d, respectively. The following graph is obtained when log[rate] vs. log[conc.] are plotted
