SECTION –D

V. CASE BASED QUESTIONS: (2 X 4 = 8M)

29. The rate of a reaction, which may also be called its velocity or speed, can be defined with
relation to the concentration of any of the reacting substances, or to that of any product of the
reaction. If the species chosen is a reactant which has a concentration c at time t , the rate is -
dc/dt, while the rate with reference to a product having a concentration x at time t is dx/dt.
Any concentration units may be used for expressing the rate; thus, if moles per litre are
employed for concentration and seconds for the time, the units for the rate are moles litre- 1
sec-1. For gas reactions pressure units are sometimes used in place of concentrations, so the
units for the rate would be (mm. Hg) sec-1 and atm sec-1 The order of a reaction concerns the
dependence of the rate upon the concentrations of reacting substances; thus, if the rate is
found experimentally to be proportional to the α th power of the concentration of one of the
reactants A, to the βth power of the concentration of a second reactant B, and so forth, via.,
rate = k [A] α [B] β ,the over-all order of the reaction is sum = α + β .Such a reaction is said to
be of the αth order with respect to the substance A, the β th order with respect to B and so
on...

(c) The half-life of a sample A (t½ = 100 days) did not change with concentration of A.

concentration of B. If the initial concentration of both the samples were 1M, what will be
their rate constants?

30. Amines are classified as primary, secondary and tertiary amines. Primary amines cannot
be obtained by ammonolysis of alkyl halide because we will get mixture of 1°, 2° and 3°
amines. Cyanides, on reduction give primary amines whereas isocyanides on reduction
give secondary amines. Nitro compounds, on reduction also give primary amines.
Primary amines react with CHCl3 and KOH to form foul smelling isocyanides. They
react with HNO2 and liberate N2 gas. They react with Hinsberg’s reagent to form salt
soluble in KOH. Secondary amine form yellow oily compounds with HNO 2 and salt
formed with C6H5SO2Cl, is insoluble in KOH. 3° amines form salt soluble in water with
HNO2 but does not react with C6H5SO2Cl.Diazonium salts are prepared by reaction of
Aniline with NaNO2 and conc. HCl at 0 – 5 °C. Aromatic diazonium salts are more stable
because phenyl diazonium ion is stabilized by resonance.
