For the reaction, H _ 2( ~g ) + Br _ 2( ~g ) 2 HBr _ ( g ) , r = k [ H ₂ ] [ Br ₂ ]^ 1 2 What is the molecularity and order of reaction respectively?
Options
- AMonomolecular and 1 2
- BMonomolecular and 1
- CMonomolecular and 3 2
- DBimolecular and 3 2
Correct answer
D. Bimolecular and 3 2
Step-by-step solution
Molecularity = No of reactants =2 Order of reaction =1+ 1 2 = 3 2 Order of a reaction is an experimentally derived quantity and cannot be predicted from balanced equation. We can determine order from an equation only in case of an elementary reaction.
