Question:

Match List-I with List-II

List-I Order of the reaction

List-II Example

(A) Third order

(I) $C_2H_4 (g) + H_2 (g) → C_2H_6 (g)$

(B) First order

(II) $2NO(g) + O_2 (g) → 2NO_2 (g)$

(C) One and half order

(III) $CH_3COOC_2H_5 + H_2O → CH_3COOH + C_2H_5OH$

(D) Pseudo first order

(IV) $CHCl_3 + Cl_2 → CCl_4 + HCl$

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Options:

(A)-(II), (B)-(I), (C)-(III), (D)-(IV)

(A)-(II), (B)-(I), (C)-(IV), (D)-(III)

(A)-(I), (B)-(II), (C)-(IV), (D)-(III)

(A)-(I), (B)-(II), (C)-(III), (D)-(IV)

Correct Answer:

(A)-(II), (B)-(I), (C)-(IV), (D)-(III)

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → (A)-(II), (B)-(I), (C)-(IV), (D)-(III)

List-I Order of the reaction

List-II Example

(A) Third order

(II) $2NO(g) + O_2 (g) → 2NO_2 (g)$

(B) First order

(I) $C_2H_4 (g) + H_2 (g) → C_2H_6 (g)$

(C) One and half order

(IV) $CHCl_3 + Cl_2 → CCl_4 + HCl$

(D) Pseudo first order

(III) $CH_3COOC_2H_5 + H_2O → CH_3COOH + C_2H_5OH$

(A) Third order - (II)

Reaction:
2NO(g) + O₂(g) → 2NO₂(g)

Rate law:
Rate = k[NO]²[O₂]

Total order = 2 + 1 = 3 (third order).

(B) First Order - (I)

Reaction:
C₂H₄(g) + H₂(g) → C₂H₆(g)

Hydrogenation reactions on catalyst surfaces often depend on only one reactant concentration, so the rate behaves as first order.

(C) One and half order - (IV)

Reaction:
CHCl₃ + Cl₂ → CCl₄ + HCl

Rate law:
Rate = k[CHCl₃][Cl₂]¹ᐟ²

Total order = 1 + 1/2 = 3/2 (one and half order).

(D) Pseudo first order - (III)

Reaction:
CH₃COOC₂H₅ + H₂O → CH₃COOH + C₂H₅OH

Hydrolysis occurs in large excess of water, so [H₂O] remains almost constant. Thus the reaction behaves as pseudo first order.
