NEETChemistryChemical Kinetics
How are the orders of a reaction with respect to different reactants determined from the rate expression?
Options
- ABy analyzing the stoichiometric coefficients of the reactants
- BBy measuring the rate at various time intervals
- CBy conducting theoretical calculations
- DBy examining the values of the rate constant k
Correct answer
A. By analyzing the stoichiometric coefficients of the reactants
Step-by-step solution
The orders of a reaction with respect to different reactants are determined from the rate expression by analyzing the exponents "x" and "y," which may or may not be the same as the stoichiometric coefficients.
