SECTIOND
The following questions are case-based questions. Each question
has an internal choice and carries 4 (2+ 1+1)
marks each. Read the passage carefully and answer the questions
that follow.
29. Dependence of the rate of reaction on the concentration of
reactants, temperature, and other factors is the
most general method for weeding out unsuitable reaction mecha
nisms. The term mechanism means all the
individual collisional or elementary processes involving molecules
(atoms, radicals, and ions included) that
take place simultaneously or consecutively to produce the observ
ed overall reaction. For example, when
hydrogen gas reacts with bromine, the rate of the reaction was found
to be proportional to the concentration
ofH2 and to the square root of the concentration ofBr .
2
Furthermore, the rate was inhibited by increasing the concentratio
n of HBr as the reaction proceeded. These
observations arc not consistent with a mechanism involving bimol
ecular collisions of a single molecule of
each kind.
The currently accepted mechanism is considerably more complicated
, involving the dissociation of bromine
molecules into atoms followed by reactions between atoms and
molecules.
It is clear from this example that the mechanism cannot be predic
ted from the overall stoichiometry.

nism. John Wiley & Sons.)

H 2 + Br2 ➔ 2HBr
What are the units of rate constant for the above reaction?
b. How will the rate of reaction be affected if the concentration of Br2 is tripled?
OR
What change in the concentration of H 2 will triple the rate of reaction?
c. Suppose a reaction between A and B, was experimentally found to be first order with respect to both
A and B. So the rate equation is:
Rate= k[A] [B]
Which of these two mechanisms is consistent with this experimental finding?
Why?

B+ C ➔ E(fast)
Mechanism 2

30. Amines are basic in nature. The pKb value is a measure of the basic strength of an amine. Lower the value of
pKb, more basic is the amine. The effect of substituent on the basic strength of amines in aqueous solution
was determined using titrations. The substituent "X,, replaced "-CH/ group in piperidine (compound 1)
and propylamine CH3CH2CH 2NH 2, (compound 2).
