Time management is very much important in IIT JAM. The eduncle test series for IIT JAM Mathematical Statistics helped me a lot in this portion. I am very thankful to the test series I bought from eduncle.

1. Consider the hydrolysis of acetyl chloride (CH3COCl) to produce acetic acid (CH3COOH) and hydrochloric acid (HCl). Note: water is the solvent. CH3COCl + H2O → CH3COOH + HCl Experimentally the rate law is found to be – d[CH3COCl]/dt = k [CH3COCl] [H2O] At the beginning of the reaction, the concentration of CH3COCl is 0.10 M. (i) At the beginning of the reaction, what is the concentration of H2 O? (ii) If the reaction proceeds to completion what is the final concentration of H2 O? (iii) If k = 1.16 x 10–3 M–1 s–1, how long will it take for the concentration of CH3 COCl to be reduced to 0.05 M? 2. The gas phase reaction of nitric oxide, NO, with chlorine, Cl2 , occurs according to the equation: 2 NO + Cl2 → 2 NOCl The experimental rate law is: (1/2) d[NOCl]/dt = k [NO]2 [Cl2] A possible reaction mechanism is: (i) 2 NO → N2O2 (fast, at equilibrium) (ii) N2O2 + Cl2 → 2 NOCl (slow) Identify the rate determining step (rds), show that this mechanism is consistent with the rate law, and express the experimental rate constant, kexp, in terms of the rate constants for the elementary processes.
