Time: 3 h Marks: 50 Attempt any 50 Marks questions from the given questions Q1) For the following reaction, kinetics indicated that dissociation of CO does not occur. The proposed mechanism has a hapticity change involving \( \mathrm{Cp} \) ring which is not normally observed. Write the mechanism for the reaction indicating type of reaction happening at each step. Also give electron count for all the intermediates. (3 Marks)

Step 1
This means that CO remains intact throughout the reaction. To write the mechanism, we need to know the reactants and products of the reaction. Unfortunately, the question does not provide this information. Show more…

Write the overall reaction and the rate expressions that correspond to these reaction mechanisms. Be sure to eliminate intermediates from the answers: (a) $\mathrm{A}+\mathrm{B} \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{C}+\mathrm{D} \quad$ fast $\mathbf{C}+\mathbf{E} \longrightarrow \mathrm{F} \quad$ slow (b) $\mathrm{A} \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{B}+\mathrm{C}$ fast $\mathrm{C}+\mathrm{D} \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{E}$ fast $\mathrm{E} \longrightarrow \mathrm{F}$ slow
Q.2 (a) The experimental rate law for the reaction H2 + I2 → 2HI is given as –d[H2]/dt = k[H2] [I2] (i) What is the unit of ‘k’? The following mechanism is proposed for this reaction I2 ⇌ 2I (Fast equilibrium) I + I + H2 → 2HI (ii) Deduce whether this mechanism is valid or not, with reason. (iii) The values of rate constant for this reaction at 769 K and 667 K are 794 l mol-1 s-1 and 12.58 l mol-1 s-1 respectively and bond dissociation energy of I2 is 151kJ/mol. Justify by suitable calculation, why the second step in the mechanism given above is rate determining
