NEET Chemistry Order of Reaction MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about the order of a reaction is correct?
The order of a reaction can be determined experimentally and does not necessarily relate to the stoichiometry of the reaction.
The order of reaction is always equal to the sum of the stoichiometric coefficients of the reactants.
A zero-order reaction will have a rate that is dependent on the concentration of the reactants.
First-order reactions have a half-life that is dependent on the initial concentration of the reactants.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The order of a reaction is indeed an experimental quantity and does not have to match the stoichiometric coefficients, as stated in the NCERT context. In contrast, the other statements reflect common misconceptions about reaction order.
