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.
