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 always equal to the sum of the stoichiometric coefficients in the balanced equation.
The order of a reaction can be determined experimentally and may differ from the molecularity of the reaction.
For a first-order reaction, the rate constant depends on the concentration of the reactants.
The order of a reaction is a theoretical value derived from the reaction mechanism.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The order of a reaction is indeed an experimental quantity and may not necessarily equal the sum of the stoichiometric coefficients, as noted in the context of first-order reactions and rate expressions.
