Chemistry-Rate of Reaction
NEET Chemistry Rate of Reaction Assertion Reason Question
Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Easy-Class 12
Assertion (A): The rate of a reaction can be determined by the balanced chemical equation alone. | Reason (R): The rate law is expressed in terms of the molar concentration of reactants, which may or may not correspond to their stoichiometric coefficients.
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 but R is true.
Correct Answer
Option D
Detailed Explanation
The rate law cannot be predicted by the balanced chemical equation alone, as it depends on the concentration terms' exponents, which may differ from stoichiometric coefficients.
