Question -


In the reaction, P + Q ⟶ R + S


the time taken for 75% reaction of P is twice the time taken for 50% reaction of P. The concentration of Q varies with reaction time as shown in the figure. The overall order of the reaction is
In The Reaction, P + Q ⟶ R + Sthe Time Taken For 75% React...

Options:
A .   2
B .   3
C .   0
D .   1
Answer: Option D
:
D

Overall order of reaction can be decided by the data given t75=2t50


∴ It is a first order reaction with respect to P.


From graph [Q] is linearly decreasing with time, i.e., order of reaction w.r.t. Q is zero and the rate expression is r=[P]1[Q]0.


Therefore 1 is the right answer.
