NEET Chemistry Order of Reaction Assertion Reason Question

Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Easy-Class 12

Assertion (A): The order of a reaction can be determined from the stoichiometry of the reaction. | Reason (R): The rate of a reaction is always proportional to the product of the concentrations of the reactants raised to the power of their stoichiometric coefficients.

A

Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).

B

Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A).

C

Assertion (A) is true but Reason (R) is false.

D

Assertion (A) is false.

Correct Answer

Option D

Detailed Explanation

The order of a reaction is not necessarily determined by the stoichiometry of the reaction; it is determined experimentally. The given reason is false as the order does not always correspond to stoichiometric coefficients.
