351. The optimum performance for reactors operating in parallel is obtained when the feed stream is distributed in such a way, that the

Space time for each parallel line is same

Space time for parallel lines is different

Larger reactors have more space time compared to smaller ones

None of these

✅ The correct answer is option A.

352. The ratio of volume of mixed reactor to the volume of P.F.R. (for identical flow rate, feed composition and conversion) for zero order reaction is

∞

> 1

✅ The correct answer is option C.

353. If helium is introduced in a reactor containing O₂, SO₂ and SO₃ at equilibrium, so that total pressure increases while volume and temperature remains constant. In this case the dissociation of SO₃ (as per Le Chatlier principle)

Decreases

Increases

Remains unaltered

Changes unpredictably

✅ The correct answer is option A.

354. For a __________ order reaction, the units of rate constant and rate of reaction are the same.

Zero

First

Second

Fractional

✅ The correct answer is option A.

355. A catalyst is said to be a negative catalyst, ifit

Retards the rate of reaction

Reduces the value of equilibrium constant

Does not initiate the reaction

All of the above

✅ The correct answer is option A.

356. Exposure of a photographic plate to produce a latent image is an example of __________ reaction.

Very slow

Photochemical

Both B and C

✅ The correct answer is option D.

357. Rate constant ‘k’ and absolute temperature ‘T’ are related by collision theory (for bimolecular) as

k ∝ T1.5

k ∝ exp(-E/RT)

k ∝ √T

k ∝ T

✅ The correct answer is option C.

358. Promoter.

Initiates a chemical reaction and is a catalyst by itself

Atlers the position of equilibrium in a reversible reaction

Increases the number of active centres by increasing the unevenness of catalyst surface and by creating discontinuities in the crystals

All of the above

✅ The correct answer is option C.

359. Fluidised bed reactor is characterised by

Uniformity of temperature

Comparatively smaller equipment

Very small pressure drop

Absence of continuous catalyst regeneration facility

✅ The correct answer is option A.

Removal of at least one of the products at regular interval

None of these

✅ The correct answer is option B.
