Assertion : In rate law,unlike in the expression for equilibrium constants,the exponents for concentrations do not necessarily match the stoichiometric coefficients.
Reason : It is the mechanism and not the balanced chemical equation for the overall change that governs the reaction rate.

  • C
    $C$. If the Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
  • D

What is the unit of the rate constant for a $4^{th}$ order reaction?

The rate equation for the reaction $2 A + B \longrightarrow$ products is $\text{rate} = k[A][B]^2$. If $k$ at $T \ K$ is $5.0 \times 10^{-6} \ mol^{-2} \ L^2 \ s^{-1}$,the initial rate of the reaction,when $[A] = 0.05 \ mol \ L^{-1}$ and $[B] = 0.1 \ mol \ L^{-1}$ is:

The rate for the reaction $A + B \rightarrow \text{product}$ is $1.8 \times 10^{-2} \ mol \ dm^{-3} \ s^{-1}$. Calculate the rate constant if the reaction is second order in $A$ and first order in $B$,given $[A] = 0.2 \ M$ and $[B] = 0.1 \ M$.

The rate equation for the reaction $2A + B \to C$ is found to be: $\text{rate} = k[A][B]$. The correct statement in relation to this reaction is that the

For the reaction between $A$ and $B$,the initial rate of reaction $(r_0)$ was measured for different initial concentrations of $A$ and $B$ as given below. Determine the order of the reaction with respect to $A$ and $B$ respectively.
$[A] / mol \ L^{-1}$$0.2, 0.2, 0.4$
$[B] / mol \ L^{-1}$$0.3, 0.1, 0.05$
