Why can’t molecularity of any reaction be equal to zero?
Advertisements
उत्तर
The number of molecules of the reactants involved in an elementary reaction is referred to as the molecularity of the reaction. For this, a single molecule with a minimum molecularity of one is required, and it cannot be zero.

The rate of reaction is concerned with decrease in the concentration of reactants or increase in the concentration of products per unit of time. It can be expressed as instantaneous rate at a particular instant of time and average rate over a large interval of time. A number of factors such as temperature, concentration of reactants, catalyst affect the rate of reaction. Mathematical representation of rate of a reaction is given by rate law: Rate = k[A]x [B]y x and y indicate how sensitive the rate is to change in concentration of A and B. Sum of x + y gives the overall order of a reaction. |
