At 518oC,{518}^{o}C, the rate of decomposition of a sample of gaseous acetaldehyde, initially at a pressure of 363Torr363Torr was 1.00Torrs−11 .00 Torr{s}^{- 1} when 55% had reacted and 0.50Torrs−10 .50 Torr{s}^{- 1} when 33% had reacted. The order of the reaction is:

Options

  1. A00
  2. B22
  3. C33
  4. D11

Correct answer

B. 22

Step-by-step solution

Rate∝(concentration)n∝ {\left(concentration\right)}^{n}

Let the initial concentration be 1M1M.

According to the question,

{ConcentrationRate0.95M10.67M0.5\begin{cases}Concentration & Rate \\ 0 . 95M & 1 \\ 0 . 67M & 0 . 5\end{cases}

Substituting in the general rate expression,

(0.950.67)n=10.5{\left(\dfrac{0 .95}{0 .67}\right)}^{n} = \dfrac{1}{0 .5}

⇒n=2⇒ n = 2
