Question
A reaction is first order in A and second order in B. Write the differential rate equation.

Solution
Reaction is first order in A and second order in B, hence the differential rate equation is:
`dx/dt` = k[A][B]2

Assertion: Order of the reaction can be zero or fractional.
Reason: We cannot determine order from balanced chemical equation.
Assertion: Rate constants determined from Arrhenius equation are fairly accurate for simple as well as complex molecules.
Reason: Reactant molecules undergo chemical change irrespective of their orientation during collision.
