Which of the following is wrongly matched?
Options
- ADecomposition of H ₂ O ₂- first order reaction.
- BCombination of H ₂ and Br ₂ to give HBr -zero order reaction.
- CSaponification of CH ₃ COOC ₂ H ₅ -second order reaction.
- DHydrolysis of CH ₃ COOCH ₃- pseudo unimolecular reaction.
Correct answer
B. Combination of H ₂ and Br ₂ to give HBr -zero order reaction.
Step-by-step solution
Combination of H ₂ and Br ₂ to give HBr , is second order reaction. H ₂+ Br ₂ 2 HBr Rate law expression, r=k [ H ₂ ] [ Br ₂ ] Order w.r.t. H ₂ and Br ₂ is one. Overall order =1+1=2
