Define following term / Give definition :
$(1)$ Elementary reaction
$(2)$ Complex reaction
For the reaction between $A$ and $B$ , the initial rate of reaction $(r_0)$ was measured for different initial concentration of $A$ and $B$ as given below Order of the reaction with respect to $A$ and $B$ respectively, is $\sqrt 2 = 1.4 ,\,\sqrt 3 \times 10^{-4}$
$A/mol\,L^{-1}$ | $0.2$ | $0.2$ | $0.4$ |
$B/mol\,L^{-1}$ | $0.3$ | $0.1$ | $0.05$ |
$r_0/mol^{-1}s^{-1}$ | $5.0\times 10^{-5}$ | $5.0\times 10^{-5}$ | $1.4\times 10^{-4}$ |
By giving three examples explain that ''the exponents of the concentration terms are same or not as their stoichiometric coefficients in the balanced chemical reaction.''
From the following which is a second order reaction
The elementary reaction $2SO_2(g) + O_2(g) \to 2SO_3(g)$ is carried out in $1\, dm^3$ vessel and $2\,dm^3$ vessel separately. The ratio of the reaction velocities will be
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.
