Q. In a chemical reaction two reactants take part. The rate of reaction is directly proportion to the concentration of one of them and inversely proportional to the concentration of the other. The order of reaction is
A) 0
B) 1
C) 2
D) 4
Explanation
(a)
The order of reaction is zero. Suppose the following reaction take place .
$A + B \rightarrow product$
$\therefore rate = \lbrack A\rbrack\lbrack B\rbrack^{- 1}$
$\therefore$ order =1+(-1)=0
