Non-ideal solutions exhibit either positive or negative deviations from Raoult’s law. What are these deviations and why are they caused? Explain with one example for each type. A reaction is of first order in reactant A and of second order in reactant B. How is the rate of this reaction affected when (i) the concentration of B alone is increased to three times (ii) the concentrations of A as well as B are doubled? The rate constant for a reaction of zero order in A is 0.0030 mol L –1 s –1. How long will it take for the initial concentration of A to fall from 0.10 M to 0.075 M ? Draw the structures of white phosphorus and red phosphorus. Which one of these two types of phosphorus is more reactive and why? Explain the following observations: (i) Generally there is an increase in density of elements from titanium (Z = 22) to copper (Z = 29) in the first series of transition elements. Transition elements
