3) A reaction is of second order with respect to a reactant. How will the rate of reaction
be affected if the concentration of this reactant is
(i) doubled, (ii) reduced to half?
7) reaction is of second order with respect to its reactant. How will its reaction
rate be affected if the concentration of the reactant is (i) doubled (ii) reduced to
half?
8) A first order reaction has a rate constant of 0.0051 min -1. If we begin with 0.10

solution after 3 hours?
9) For a decomposition reaction the values of rate constant k at two different
temperatures are given below :
