NEET Chemistry Order of Reaction Assertion Reason Question
Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Hard-Class 12
Assertion (A): The order of a reaction can be a fractional value. | Reason (R): The rate of reaction depends only on the concentration of reactants.
A
Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
B
Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
C
A is true but R is false.
D
A is false.
Correct Answer
Option C
Detailed Explanation
The order of a reaction can indeed be fractional, as seen in CH3CHO decomposition with order 3/2. However, the rate of reaction depends on both concentration and specific rate constants, not exclusively on concentration.
