For the following parallel chain reaction,what will be the value of the overall half-life of $A$ in minutes?
Given that $\frac{[B]_t}{[C]_t} = \frac{16}{9}$
$A \xrightarrow{k_1 = 2 \times 10^{-3} \ s^{-1}} 4B$
$A \xrightarrow{k_2} C$

The rate constant for the first order decomposition of $H_{2}O_{2}$ is given by the following equation:
$\log k = 14.34 - 1.25 \times 10^{4} \, K / T$
Calculate $E_{a}$ for this reaction and at what temperature will its half-period be $256 \, min$?

Which one of the following represents a complex reaction?

Match the rate expressions in List-$I$ for the decomposition of $X$ with the corresponding profiles provided in List-$II$. $X_s$ and $k$ are constants having appropriate units.

Given below are two statements: $R = 8.314 \text{ J K}^{-1} \text{ mol}^{-1}$ and $1 \text{ cal} = 4.2 \text{ J}$.
Statement $I$: When $E_a = 12.6 \text{ kcal/mol}$, the room temperature rate constant is doubled by a $10 \text{ }^\circ\text{C}$ increase in temperature ($298 \text{ K}$ to $308 \text{ K}$).
Statement $II$: For a first-order reaction $A \to B$, the graph of half-life $(t_{1/2})$ versus initial concentration $[A]_o$ is a straight line passing through the origin.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

The temperature coefficient for a reaction in which food deteriorates is $2$. Then food deteriorates ...... times as rapidly at $25\,^oC$ as it does at $5\,^oC$.
