(a)
Interpretation:
On increasing the temperature of a reaction system, whether the average energy of collision is increased or not is to be determined, and the reason is to be explained.
(b)
Interpretation:
On increasing the temperature of a reaction system, whether the collision frequency is increased or not is to be determined, and the reason is to be explained.
(c)
Interpretation:
On increasing the temperature of a reaction system, whether the fraction of molecule with proper molecular orientation is increased or not is to be determined, and the reason is to be explained.
Explanation:
With increase of temperature, the fraction of molecules with proper orientation increases as temperature increase leads to an increase in the speed of molecules. This increases the kinetic energy and hence more and more molecules acquire more energy than the activation energy and get converted to products. Total number of collision per unit increases but the collision with proper molecular orientation stays the same.
(d)
Interpretation:
On increasing the temperature of a reaction system, whether the fraction of collision with sufficient energy is increased or not is to be determined, and the reason is to be explained.
Explanation:
Only those in collision result in product formation, which have sufficient energy to overcome activation energy. With the increase of temperature, the fraction of collision with sufficient energy increases as temperature increase leads to an increase in the speed of molecules. This increases the kinetic energy and hence more and more molecules acquire minimum energy required for effective collision.
(e)
Interpretation:
On increasing the temperature of a reaction system, whether the reaction rate is increased or not is to be determined, and the reason is to be explained.
Explanation:
With the increase of temperature, there is an increase in the speed of molecules, increasing the kinetic energy and activation energy decreases so more reactant get converted to products. So, the reaction rate also increases.
(d)
Interpretation:
On increasing the temperature of a reaction system, whether the fraction of collision with sufficient energy is increased or not is to be determined, and the reason is to be explained.
(e)
Interpretation:
On increasing the temperature of a reaction system, whether the reaction rate is increased or not is to be determined, and the reason is to be explained.

- Sketch energy diagrams to represent each of the following. Label the diagrams completely and tell how they are similar to each other and how they are different. a. Exothermic exergonic reaction with activation energy b. Exothermic exergonic reaction without activation energyarrow_forwardClassify each of the following statements as true or false. aSome equilibria depend on a steady supply of a reactant in order to maintain the equilibrium. bBoth forward and reverse reactions continue after equilibrium is reached. cEvery time reactant molecules collide, there is a reaction. dPotential energy during a collision is greater than potential energy before or after the collision. eThe properties of a transition state are between those of the reactants and products. fActivation energy is positive for both the forward and reverse reactions. gKinetic energy is changed to potential energy during a collision. hAn increase in temperature speeds the forward reaction but slows the reverse reaction. iA catalyst changes the steps by which a reaction is completed. jAn increase in concentration of a substance on the right-hand side of an equation speeds the reverse reaction rate. kAn increase in the concentration of a substance in an equilibrium increases the reaction rate in which the substance is a product. lReducing the volume of a gaseous equilibrium shifts the equilibrium in the direction of fewer gaseous molecules. mRaising temperature results in a shift in the forward direction of an endothermic equilibrium. nThe value of an equilibrium constant depends on temperature. oA large K indicates that an equilibrium is favored in the reverse direction.arrow_forwardWrite equilibrium constant expressions for the following generalized reactions. a. 2X(g)+3Y(g)2Z(g) b. 2X(g)+3Y(s)2Z(g) c. 2X(s)+3Y(s)2Z(g) d. 2X(g)+3Y(g)2Z(s)arrow_forward
