In the reaction, P + Q ? R + S The time taken for 75 % reaction of P is twice the time taken for 50 % reaction of P . The concentration of Q varies with reaction time as shown in the figure. The overall order of the reaction is
Options
- A2
- B3
- C0
- D1
Correct answer
D. 1
Step-by-step solution
For P , if t _ 50 % = x then t _ 75 % =2 x This is true only for first order reaction. So, order with respect to P is 1 . Further the graph shows that concentration of Q decreases with time. So rate, with respect to Q , remains constant. Hence, it is zero order wrt Q. So, overall order is 1+0=1
