A. Step 1: By definition, the rate law for a zero-order reaction is Rate = k[A]0 = k. This confirms
that the rate is independent of reactant concentration, making statement 2 true.
B. Step 2: The rate constant k is temperature-dependent according to the Arrhenius equation (k
= Ae–E /RT), so the reaction rate also depends on temperature. Thus, statement 1 is false.
a

C. Step 3: The half-life for a zero-order reaction is given by . This shows a direct
dependence on the initial reactant concentration, making statement 3 true.
D. Step 4: The units of the rate constant k for a zero-order reaction are concentration ⋅ time–1,
which is mol L–1s–1. Therefore, statement 4 is true.

if a – b is divisible by n. You must check for reflexivity, symmetry, and transitivity.
Concept : Set Theory, Relations (Reflexive, Symmetric, Transitive), and Equivalence
Relations.
Solution :
The given relation may be written in set builder form as
R = {(a, b) : a – b divided by n and a, b ∈ Z}
As a – a = 0 and 0 divided by n
∴ (a, a) ∈ R
∴ R is reflexive
Let a, b ∈ Z such that (a, b) ∈ R
Then (a, b)∈ R ⇒ a – b divided by n.
a – b = nk for some integer k
⇒ b – a = n(– k)
∴ (a, b) ∈ R ⇒ (b, a) ∈ R
∴ R is symmetric
Now, (a, b), (b, c) ∈ R
Now, a – b = nc1 and b – c = nc2 for some integers c1 and c2.
∴ (a – b) + (b – c) = n(c1 + c2)
⇒ a – c = nk, where k = c1 + c2, an integer
⇒ (a, c) ∈ R
∴ (a, b), (b, c) ∈ R ⇒ (a, c) ∈ R
∴ R is transitive and hence R is an equivalence relation.

relations, those that are reflexive but not symmetric, and those both reflexive and symmetric.
Concept : Combinatorics of Relations, Reflexive and Symmetric Relation Formulas.
Solution :
1. Reflexive Relations For a relation to be reflexive, every element must relate to itself. In our
5×5

each).
Formula: .
2. Reflexive and Symmetric Relations
Reflexive: Diagonal elements are fixed (included).
Symmetric: If (a, b) is included, (b, a) must also be included. This means we only have a choice
for the elements above the diagonal. The elements below the diagonal are automatically
determined by the ones above.

Number of elements above the diagonal = .

Formula: = 210.
3. Reflexive but NOT Symmetric Relations To find relations that are reflexive but not
symmetric, we subtract the "Symmetric and Reflexive" count from the "Total Reflexive" count.
