For the reaction, A = X + Y, the respective concentrations are CA, CX and CY. The forward reaction rate constant is kf and the backward reaction rate constant is kb. Choose the correct statement from the following:
P. At equilibrium, kf CA > kB CxCy
Q. If the reaction is irreversible than, kb CXCY = 0
R. The backward reaction rate will essentially be first order, if the forward reaction rate is first order.
S. Activation energy for the first order forward reaction will be independent of temperature.
Rate constant for a first order reaction does not depend upon reaction time, extent of reaction and the initial concentration of reactants ; but it is a function of reaction temperature. In a chemical reaction, the time required to reduce the concentration of reactant from 100 gm moles/litre to 50 gm moles/litre is same as that required to reduce it from 2 gm moles/litre to 1 gm mole/litre in the same volume. Then the order of this reaction is
A CSTR is to be designed in which an exothermic liquid phase first order reaction of the type, A → R, is taking place. The reactor is to be provided with a jacket in which coolant is flowing. Following data is given: CA0= 5 kmole/m3; XA = 0.5; Feed temperature = reactor temperature = 40°C. Rate constant at 40°C = 1 min-1; (ΔH) = -40 kJ/mole; ρ = 1000 kg/m3 CP = 4 J/gm.°C; q = 10-3 m3/min (ρ and CP are same for the reactant and product streams). The amount of heat to be removed is
A water tanker can be filled by 2 pipes A & B separately in 16 min & 32 min respectively. The outlet of the tanker is partially open and it can empty the full tanker completely in 1 hour 4 min. Pipes A & B were opened simultaneously for 9 min to fill the tanker but the partially open outlet was not closed. After 9 min the pipes A & B were closed and the tanker then went to Mohan's house, 6 km away to deliver water. If the tanker moved at a constant speed of 36 km/hr, approximately what percentage of the tanker was full, when it reached Mohan's house? 
A liquid phase reaction occurring in a CSTR follows first order dynamics. The feed rate is 500m3/min. Initial concentration of the feed is 50mol/m3. If the reaction conversion is 50% and the reaction is carried out in a 0.5 m3 CSTR, what is the value of rate constant?
Tank can be filled by pipe A alone in 90 min and by pipe B alone in 60 min. There is a tap in bottom of tank which can empty the tank in 18 min. In a condition when tank is filled by pipe A and B for 20 min and then close and open the bottom tap. The time taken by tap to empty the tank is ….. min.
A mouse is running at the speed of 15 m/min. After 12 min a cat saw him and started running to catch the mouse at the speed of 16 m/min. How much time will it take to catch the mouse if the cat can boost his speed by 1 m/min in every 5 min?
Three pipes A, B, C can individually fill a tank in 45 min., 60 min., and 30 min. respectively. If all the three pipes are simultaneously opened in an empty tank, such that pipes A and B are closed after 9 min. and 12 min. respectively, how much time will pipe C take alone to fill the remaining part of the tank?
Five clocks ring simultaneously at 5 pm. They ring at regular intervals of 12 min, 15 min, 20 min, 30 min, and 60 min respectively. The time when all five clocks ring together next is:
