Assertion : The overall order of the reaction is the sum of the exponents of all the reactants in the rate expression. Reason : There are many higher order reactions.
Options
- AIf both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion
- BIf both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion
- CIf assertion is true but reason is false
- DIf both assertion and reason are false.
Correct answer
C. If assertion is true but reason is false
Step-by-step solution
Reactions of higher order are rare because chances for larger number of molecules to come simultaneously for collision are less.
