NEET Chemistry Rate of Reaction MCQ Question
Which of the following statements correctly describes the relationship between stoichiometric coefficients and the rate law of a reaction?
The exponents in the rate law always match the stoichiometric coefficients of the balanced equation.
The rate law can be predicted from the stoichiometric coefficients of the reactants.
The rate law coefficients can differ from the stoichiometric coefficients in the balanced equation.
The rate of a reaction is solely dependent on the stoichiometric coefficients.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The rate law for any reaction cannot be predicted solely by the balanced chemical equation, as the exponents of the concentration terms in the rate expression may differ from their stoichiometric coefficients.
