What is the order of the following reaction ? 2 H ₂ O ₂ (l) 2 H ₂ O (l) + O ₂ (g) , if rate = k [ H ₂ O ₂]
Options
- A0
- B1
- C2
- D3
Correct answer
B. 1
Step-by-step solution
The rate law for the given reaction is provided as rate = k [ H ₂ O ₂] . The order of a reaction is defined as the sum of the exponents of the concentration terms in the rate law expression. In this rate law, the exponent of the concentration of H ₂ O ₂ is 1 . Therefore, the order of the reaction is 1 . Answer: 1
