NEET Chemistry (general) MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-conceptual-Hard-Class 12
Which of the following statements about the rate of reaction is correct?
A
The average rate of reaction can be used to predict the instantaneous rate at any given moment.
B
The instantaneous rate of reaction is calculated over an interval approaching zero time.
C
The rate of reaction is solely dependent on the temperature of the system.
D
The average rate of reaction remains constant throughout the reaction time.
Correct Answer
Option B
Detailed Explanation
The instantaneous rate of reaction is determined when the average rate is calculated over an infinitesimally small time interval, as stated in the NCERT context. In contrast, average rates do not predict rates at specific moments.
