NEET Chemistry Rate of Reaction MCQ Question
Consider a diagram showing the decomposition of N2O5 at different temperatures. Which curve represents the reaction at 50°C, where the time taken for half of the original amount to decompose is 12 minutes?

The steepest curve, indicating the fastest rate of reaction.
The flattest curve, indicating the slowest rate of reaction.
The middle curve, indicating a moderate rate of reaction.
The curve with the least slope, indicating no reaction.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The decomposition of N2O5 is faster at higher temperatures, hence the curve at 50°C, where half-life is shortest, will be the steepest.
