NEET Chemistry Order of Reaction MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about the order of reaction is correct?
The order of a reaction is determined by the exponents in the rate law, which may not always correspond to the stoichiometric coefficients.
A zero-order reaction has a rate that is independent of the concentration of reactants.
The order of reaction can only be determined experimentally and not from the balanced equation.
The order of a reaction is always equal to the sum of the stoichiometric coefficients in the balanced equation.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The order of a reaction is indeed determined by the exponents in the rate law, which may not correspond to stoichiometric coefficients, as seen in various reactions provided in the NCERT context.
