  1. Pick out the wrong statement.

  2. A.

     In a first order reaction, A → products; the reaction becomes slower as it proceeds, because the concentration of A decreases and the rate is proportional to the concentration of A

    B.

     Transition state theory approaches the problem of calculating reaction rates by concentrating on the idea of activated complexes

    C.

     According to the penetration theory, the mass transfer co-efficient decreases, if the exposure time of an eddy to the solute decreases

    D.

     If the rate of an irreversible reaction, A + B → 2C is k.CA.CB, then the reaction is always elementary

  14. A.

     Initiates a chemical reaction and is a catalyst by itself

    B.

     Atlers the position of equilibrium in a reversible reaction

    C.
