NEET Chemistry Rate of Reaction Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): The instantaneous rate of a reaction can be determined by calculating the average rate over an infinitesimally small time interval. | Reason (R): The average rate of reaction remains constant over any given time interval.
Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true but R is false.
A is false.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The instantaneous rate is determined by the average rate over an infinitesimally small interval, but the average rate is not constant over any interval; it changes as the reaction progresses.
