Questions

A reaction is first order in A and second order in B. How is the rate affected when the concentrations of both A and B are doubled?

A reaction is of first order with respect to reactant [A] and second order with regard to reactant [B]. What is the effect on rate of reaction when concentrations of both [A] and [B] are doubled?

Solution

When the concentrations of both A and B are doubled,

Rate = k(2a) (2b)2

= k(2a) (4b2)

= 8 kab2

∴ The reaction rate will increase by a factor of 8.

Why can’t molecularity of any reaction be equal to zero?


Assertion: Order and molecularity are same.

Reason: Order is determined experimentally and molecularity is the sum of the stoichiometric coefficient of rate determining elementary step.

Assertion (A): Order of reaction is applicable to elementary as well as complex reactions.

Reason (R): For a complex reaction, molecularity has no meaning.
