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.
