Reaction order $=3$

For any reaction $\mathrm{R} \rightarrow \mathrm{P}$ and order $=n$ so rate $r_{1}=k[\mathrm{R}]^{n}$

If the concentration becomes 3 times. i.e. $3 \mathrm{R}$, then rate, $r_{2}=k[3 \mathrm{R}]^{n}$

So, $\frac{r_{2}}{r_{1}}=\frac{k[3 \mathrm{R}]^{n}}{k[\mathrm{R}]^{n}}=\frac{27}{\mathrm{I}}$

$\therefore \frac{{ }^{27} r_{1}}{r_{1}}=27$

$\therefore 27=3^{n}$

$\therefore 3=3^{n}$

So, $n=3$

Assertion : The kinetics of the reaction -

$mA + nB + pC \to m' X + n 'Y + p 'Z$

obey the rate expression as $\frac{{dX}}{{dt}} = k{[A]^m}{[B]^n}$.

Reason : The rate of the reaction does not depend upon the concentration of $C$.
