Sum of exponents of molar concentration is called
Correct answer: B. (a) Order of reaction
- A. Molecularity
- B. (a) Order of reaction
- C. (d) Average of reaction
- D. (c) Rate of reaction
Explanation
The correct answer is:(b) Order of reactionHere's the breakdown of why the other options are incorrect:(a) Molecularity: While the term "molecularity" refers to the number of participating molecules in a single elementary reaction step, it doesn't necessarily reflect the overall exponents of concentration terms in the rate law of a complex reaction. The order of reaction can be different from the sum of molecularity in multi-step reactions.(c) Rate of reaction: The rate of reaction represents the speed at which a

About Reaction Kinetics
Reaction kinetics relates reaction rate to concentration, temperature, surface area and catalysts. Questions cover rate laws, reaction order, rate constants, activation energy and the activated complex, including how a catalyst lowers the activation energy without changing the overall energy change or equilibrium position.
