Answer:

Correct Answer: 44. $(a,b, d)$

Solution:

  1. Equilibrium constant is related to temperature

$ \log K _p=\text { constant }-\dfrac{\Delta H}{2.3 R T} $

$\Rightarrow$ Plot of $\log K _p \hspace {1mm} v s \hspace {1mm} 1 / T$ will be a straight line.

For the first order reaction $\quad X \rightarrow P$

$ \log \dfrac{[X] _0}{[X]}=\dfrac{k t}{2.3} \Rightarrow \log [X]=\log \left[X _0\right]-\dfrac{k t}{2.3} $

i.e. $\log [X] v s$ ’ $t$ ’ will give a straight line.

Also at constant temperature, $p V=$ constant

$\Rightarrow$ Plot of $p \hspace {1mm} v s \dfrac{1}{V}$ will give a straight line.
