Chemistry-Rate of Reaction

NEET Chemistry Rate of Reaction Assertion Reason Question

Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Hard-Class 12

Assertion (A): For a reaction with a given activation energy, increasing the temperature will increase the rate constant. | Reason (R): The rate of a reaction is directly proportional to 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.

Correct Answer

Option C

Detailed Explanation

The increase in temperature increases the rate constant as per the Arrhenius equation, but the rate of a reaction is not directly proportional to concentration; it follows the rate law specific to the reaction.
