NEET Chemistry Order of Reaction MCQ Question
What is the relationship between the order of a reaction and the rate of the slowest step in a complex reaction?
The order is determined by the slowest step.
The order is always equal to the total number of reactants.
The order is independent of the slowest step.
The order can be greater than the molecularity of the slowest step.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
In a complex reaction, the order is given by the slowest step, and the molecularity of that step is the same as the order of the overall reaction.
