MCQ I
1. The role of a catalyst is to change ______________.
(i) gibbs energy of reaction.
(ii) enthalpy of reaction.
(iii) activation energy of reaction.
(iv) equilibrium constant.
Solution: Option (iii) is correct.
Explanation:
A catalyst changes the rate of a reaction but there is no permanent chemical change.
Catalyst provides an alternate pathway or reaction mechanism by lowering the activation
energy between reactants and products. So, in the presence of catalyst, activation energy
decreases. So, answer (iii) is correct.
The thermodynamic parameters gibbs energy and enthalpy of the reaction depends on the
reactant and product of the reaction. As the product or reactant does not depend on the
catalyst, so it cannot be altered by catalyst. So both answer (i) and (ii) both are incorrect.
Catalysts change the reaction in such a way that the reaction rate of both the forward and
backward change in the same order. So the overall equilibrium constant will be same as it is
the ratio of forward and backward reaction. So, option (iv) is incorrect.

2. In the presence of a catalyst, the heat evolved or absorbed during the reaction
___________.
(i) increases.
(ii) decreases.
(iii) remains unchanged.
(iv) may increase or decrease.
Solution: Option (iii) is the correct option
Explanation:
In the presence of a catalyst, the heat evolved or absorbed during the reaction remains
unchanged. Heat evolved or absorbed in the reaction is nothing but enthalpy of the reaction
which depends on the preliminary reactant and permanent product of the reaction. These
two things is not altered by catalyst. As in the presence of catalyst no thermodynamics
parameter is changed, so enthalpy of the reaction is also unchanged. So option (iii) is
correct.

Reaction###
3. Activation energy of a chemical reaction can be determined by _____________.
(i) determining the rate constant at standard temperature.
(ii) determining the rate constants at two
temperatures.
(iii) determining probability of collision.
(iv) using catalyst.
Solution: Option (ii) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Activation energy of a reaction can be determined by calculating rate constants at two

different temperatures by using modified Arrhenius Equation as below-
…………………………………….(1)
Where,
Ea=Activation energy of the reaction
T1=Lower temperature
T2=Higher temperature
k1 = rate constant at temperature T1
k2 = rate constant at temperature T2
From the equation activation energy can be calculated. If two rate constants at two different
temperatures is known, then the value can be be obtained from equation(1).
So, option (ii) is correct.

Option (i) is related to Arrhenius equation where the pre-exponential factor comes.
Determination of pre-exponential factor is very difficult.
There is no proper formula to determine the relationship between probability of a reaction

and activation energy. So, (iii) is also incorrect.
Catalyst changes activation energy. So, it cannot be determined by using catalyst. Option
(iv) is incorrect.

Reaction###
4. Consider Fig. 4.1 and mark the correct option.
(i) Activation energy of forward reaction is E1 + E2 and product is less stable than reactant.
(ii) Activation energy of forward reaction is E1+E2 and product is more stable than reactant.
(iii) Activation energy of both forward and backward reaction is E1+E2 and reactant is more
stable than product.
(iv) Activation energy of backward reaction is E1 and product is more stable than reactant.
Solution: option(i) is the correct option.
Explanation:
For the activation energy profile Activation energy of a reaction is the energy deference
between reactants and activated complex. Here the energy difference between reactant and
activated complex is summation of difference in energy between activated complex and
product (E1) and difference in energy between products and reactants (E 2). So, here
Activation energy of the reaction is (E1+E2) which is below in the y-axis is more stable. Here
product is above is y-axis so it is less stable than reactant. So, only option (i) is right.

Reaction###
5. Consider a first order gas phase decomposition reaction given below :
A(g) → B(g) + C(g)
The initial pressure of the system before decomposition of A was pi. After lapse of time ‘t’,
total pressure of the system increased by x units and became ‘pt’ The rate constant k for the
reaction is given as _________.
2.303 pi
(i) k  log
t pi  x
2.303 pi
(ii) k  log
t 2pi  pt
2.303 pi
(iii) k  log
t 2pi  pt
2.303 pi
(iv) k  log
t pi  x
Solution:
Explanation:
A(g) → B(g) + C(g)
At start, pi 0 0
At time t, pi-x x x
So, pt=pi-x+x+x=pi+x
So, option (iii) is correct.
2.303 𝑝𝑖
K= log ( )
𝑡 𝑝𝑖−𝑥
2.303 𝑝𝑖
K= log (𝑝𝑖−(𝑝𝑡−𝑝𝑖))
𝑡
2.303 𝑝𝑖
K= log ( )
𝑡 2𝑝𝑖−𝑝𝑡
So, answer (ii) will be correct.

6. According to Arrhenius equation rate constant k is equal to Ae -Ea/RT. Which of the following
1
options represents the graph of ln kvs ?
T
(i)
(ii)
(iii)
(iv)
Solution:

Taking both side natural log for the Arrhenius equation-
k=Ae-Ea/RT
𝐸𝑎
logk=logA-
𝑅𝑇
Comparing it with y=mx+c it can be shown that slope is negative for the reaction and there
is one x-axis intercept and the graph which matches with both the requirement is option (i)
because for the all others the slope is positive. So option (i) is correct.

7. Consider the Arrhenius equation given below and mark the correct option.
k = A e–Ea /RT
(i) Rate constant increases exponentially with increasing activation energy and decreasing
temperature.
(ii) Rate constant decreases exponentially with increasing activation energy and decreasing
temperature.
(iii) Rate constant increases exponentially with decreasing activation energy and decreasing
temperature.
(iv) Rate constant increases exponentially with decreasing activation energy and increasing
temperature.
Solution: Option(iV) is the correct option.
Explanation:
From the equation k = A e–Ea /RT , where Ea is the activation energy, R is gas constant and T
is temperature. It can be seen that with increase in temperature, (-Ea/RT) increases and k
increases. And with the decrease in E a, (-Ea/RT) increases and k increase. So, only option
(iv) is correct.

(iv) The order of a reaction is the sum of the powers of molar concentration of the reactants
in the rate law expression.
Solution:
Explanation:
Among the following sentences option (iii) will be the right answer as it is not correct.
Order of the reaction is the sum of the powers of the molar concentration of the reaction in
the rate law expression. Order of a reaction may be fraction or an integer. It is not always
equal to the sum of the stoichiometric coefficients of reactants.

3. 0.60 0.30 0.20
(i) Rate = k [A]2 [B]
(ii) Rate = k [A] [B]2
(iii) Rate = k [A] [B]
(iv) Rate = k [A]2 [B]0
Rate=K[A]x[B]y
Solution: Option 2 is the correct answer

Explanation:
When concentration of B is doubled and the concentration of A kept constant, the rate of
formation of C increases by a factor of four. So, the rate of reactions depends on the square
of concentration of B. Again, when concentration of A is doubled, the rate of formation of C
is again doubled. This shows that the rate depends on first power of concentration of A and
second power of B i.e. Rate= k [A] [B]2 Commented [PS9]: Give the complete mathematical step to
find the rate of the reaction.
So, option (ii) is correct.
18. Which of the following statement is not correct for the catalyst?
(i) It catalysis the forward and backward reaction to the same extent.
(ii) It alters DG of the reaction.
(iii) It is a substance that does not change the equilibrium constant of a reaction.
(iv) It provides an alternate mechanism by reducing activation energy between reactants

and products.
Solution: Option(ii) is the correct option.
Explanation:
Catalyst cannot change any thermodynamic parameters of the reaction. As DG is an Commented [PS10]: Explain what is catalysis and its
properties. Then give the explanation for the correct answer
thermodynamic parameter which depends on only the reactant and final product, it cannot
be changed by using catalyst. So, option (ii) is correct.
Catalyst changes both the rate of the forward and backward equally. So, equilibrium
constant is not changed. Catalyst speeds up the reaction by taking an alternative pathway
which reduces the activation energy.

Reaction###
19. The value of rate constant of a pseudo first order reaction ____________.
(i) depends on the concentration of reactants present in small amount.
(ii) depends on the concentration of reactants present in excess.
(iii) is independent of the concentration of reactants.
(iv) depends only on temperature.
Solution:
Explanation:
A ‘pseudo first order reaction’ is the reaction where the molecularity of reaction is two but
the order is one because one of the reactant is in excess and it will not affect the rate of
reaction. Hence for a pseudo first order reaction the rate of reaction depends only on the
concentration of reactant present in limited amount.
