$1 \ L$ of $2 \ M$ $CH_3COOH$ is mixed with $1 \ L$ of $3 \ M$ $C_2H_5OH$ to form an ester. The rate of the reaction with respect to the initial rate when each solution is diluted with an equal volume of water will be (in times).

Assertion: The order of a reaction can have a fractional value.
Reason: The order of a reaction cannot be determined from the balanced chemical equation of a reaction.

The rate law for the reaction $A + B \rightarrow P$ is given by $\text{rate} = k[A]^2[B]$. The rate constant of the reaction at $300 \text{ K}$ is $6.0 \text{ M}^{-2} \text{s}^{-1}$. Calculate the rate of the reaction when $[A] = 1 \text{ M}$ and $[B] = 0.2 \text{ M}$. (in $\text{ M s}^{-1}$)

$2 \ FeCl_3 + SnCl_2 \rightarrow 2 \ FeCl_2 + SnCl_4$. This reaction is an example of:

For the reaction,$PCl_5 \longrightarrow PCl_3 + Cl_2$,the rate and rate constant are $1.02 \times 10^{-4} \ mol \ L^{-1} \ s^{-1}$ and $3.4 \times 10^{-5} \ s^{-1}$ respectively at a given instant. The molar concentration of $PCl_5$ at that instant is
