NEET Chemistry Rate of Reaction Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): The instantaneous rate of a reaction can be determined by considering the average rate over an infinitesimally small time interval.
Reason (R): The average rate of a reaction is constant for the time interval over which it is calculated.
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 defined as the average rate over an infinitesimally small time interval, and the average rate is indeed constant over the time interval for which it is calculated, explaining why the instantaneous rate is determined this way.
