In the following reaction; xA →\to yB
log⁡10[−d[A]dt]=log⁡10[d[B]dt]+0.3010{\log _{10}}\left[ { - {{d\left[ A \right]} \over {dt}}} \right] = {\log _{10}}\left[ {{{d\left[ B \right]} \over {dt}}} \right] + 0.3010
'A' and 'B' respectively can be :

Multiple Choice Options

  • A n-Butane and Iso-butane
  • B C2H4 and C4H8
  • C C2H4 and C6H6
  • D N2O4 and NO2

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

xA →\to yB

1x{−d[A]dt}=1y{d[B]dt}{1 \over x}\left\{ { - {{d\left[ A \right]} \over {dt}}} \right\} = {1 \over y}\left\{ {{{d\left[ B \right]} \over {dt}}} \right\}

⇒\Rightarrow −d[A]dt=xy{d[B]dt}- {{d\left[ A \right]} \over {dt}} = {x \over y}\left\{ {{{d\left[ B \right]} \over {dt}}} \right\}

Taking log both sides, we get

⇒\Rightarrow log⁡10[−d[A]dt]=log⁡10[d[B]dt]+log⁡10(xy){\log _{10}}\left[ { - {{d\left[ A \right]} \over {dt}}} \right] = {\log _{10}}\left[ {{{d\left[ B \right]} \over {dt}}} \right] + {\log _{10}}\left( {{x \over y}} \right)

Given that,

log⁡10[−d[A]dt]=log⁡10[d[B]dt]+0.3010{\log _{10}}\left[ { - {{d\left[ A \right]} \over {dt}}} \right] = {\log _{10}}\left[ {{{d\left[ B \right]} \over {dt}}} \right] + 0.3010

So, by comparing both of them we get

log⁡10(xy){\log _{10}}\left( {{x \over y}} \right) = 0.3010 = log⁡10(2){\log _{10}}\left( 2 \right)

∴\therefore xy{{x \over y}} = 2

⇒\Rightarrow x = 2y

If x = 2 then y = 1

The reaction is of type 2A →\to B

So possible reaction is

2C2H4 →\to C4H8
