The reaction of hydrogen and iodine monochloride is given as:
H2(g) + 2ICl(g) → 2HCl(g) + I2(g)
This reaction is of first order with respect to H2(g) and ICl(g), for which of the following proposed mechanisms:
Mechanism A:
H2(g) + 2ICl(g) → 2HCl(g) + I2(g)
Mechanism B:
H2(g) + ICl(g) →HCl(g) + HI(g); slow
HI(g) + ICl(g) →HCl(g) + I2(g); fast
1. B Only
2. A and B both
3. Neither A nor B
4. A only
If 'a' is the initial concentration of a substance that reacts according to zero-order kinetics and k is the rate constant, then the time for the reaction to go to completion is:
1. a/k
2. 2/ka
3. k/a
4. 2k/a

Select the correct option based on statements below:
| Assertion (A): | The enthalpy of reaction remains constant in the presence of a catalyst. |
| Reason (R): | A catalyst participating in the reaction forms a different activated complex and lowers down the activation energy but the difference in energy of the reactant and the product remains the same. |
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |

The decomposition of N2O5 in CCl4 at 318K has been studied by monitoring the concentration of N2O5 in the solution. Initially, the concentration of N2O5 is 2.33 mol L–1 and after 184 minutes, it is reduced to 2.08 mol L–1. The reaction takes place according to the equation
2 N2O5 (g) → 4 NO2 (g) + O2 (g)
The rate of production of NO2 during this period is-
1. 5.72 × 10–3 mol L–1 min–1
2. 2.72 × 10–3 mol L–1 min–1
3. 1.72 × 10–5 mol L–1 min–1
4. 6.72 × 10–4 mol L–1 min–1
In a first order reaction, time required for completion of 99.9% is X times of half-life (t1/2) of the reaction. When reaction is completed 99.9%, [R]n = [R]0 – 0.999[R]0 .The value of X is-
