Which one of the following statements is correct for the reaction?
Options
- AOrder is two but molecularity is one
- BOrder is one but molecularity is two
- COrder is one but molecularity is one
- DOrder is two but molecularity is two
Correct answer
D. Order is two but molecularity is two
Step-by-step solution
For the reaction, aligned & CH ₃ COOC ₂ H ₅(a q)+ NaOH (a q) & CH ₃ COONa (a q)+ C ₂ H ₅ OH (a q) aligned the molecularity is two because two molecules are taking part. Moreover, rate law for the reaction is, rate (r)=k [ CH ₃ COOC ₂ H ₅ ][ NaOH ] Order of reaction is 1+1=2
