NEET Chemistry Rate of Reaction Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): In a bimolecular elementary reaction, the rate of the reaction depends on the concentration of the reactants involved in the slowest step.
Reason (R): The slowest step in a reaction mechanism is the rate-determining step, influencing the overall reaction rate.
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
In a bimolecular reaction mechanism, the slowest step determines the reaction rate, and the concentrations of reactants in this step dictate the rate equation, as shown in the formation of IO- from H2O2 and I-.
