STANDARD Chemistry Order of Reaction MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 12

If 50% of a reaction occurs in 100 seconds and 75% of the reaction occurs in 200 seconds, the order of this reaction is:

A

1

B

2

C

zero

D

3

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

t₁/₂ = 100 second (50% reaction). After 200 seconds, 75% of reaction will be completed, i.e., t₃/₄ = 200 seconds. Thus, it follows first order kinetics as half-life is independent of concentration and follows the relation, t₃/₄ = 2 × t₁/₂.
