STANDARD Chemistry Order of Reaction MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 12

For a chemical reaction, X → Y, the rate of reaction increases by a factor of 1.837 when the concentration of X is increased by 1.5 times, the order of the reaction with respect to X is:

A

1

B

1.5

C

2

D

2.5

Correct Answer

Option B

Detailed Explanation

Initially rate (r₁) = k[X]ⁿ. When concentration is increased by 1.5 times, r₂ = k(1.5 X)ⁿ. Dividing these gives 1.837 = (1.5)ⁿ, solving for n gives n = 1.5.
