For the irreversible elementary reactions in parallel as shown in the bellow figure, the rate of disappearance of 'X' is equal to_______________?

Correct answer: A. CA (K1 + K2)

  • A. CA (K1 + K2)
  • B. CA (K1 + K2)/2
  • C. CA . K1/2
  • D. CA . K2/2

Explanation

For parallel elementary reactions, the disappearance rates from the separate paths add: -rX = k1CX + k2CX = CX(k1 + k2). Hence option a is correct.
