NEET Chemistry (general) MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-fact-Hard-Class 12
What is the relationship between the stoichiometric coefficients of a balanced chemical equation and the exponents in the rate law expression derived from experimental data?
A
They are always equal in every reaction.
B
They are the same for some reactions, but not all.
C
They are unrelated in all cases.
D
They can never be equal for any reaction.
Correct Answer
Option B
Detailed Explanation
The exponents of the concentration terms in the rate equation are the same as their stoichiometric coefficients in the balanced equation for some reactions, but this is not a universal rule, as seen in the examples provided.
