By “the overall order of a reaction”,we mean

  • A
    The number of concentration terms in the equation for the reaction
  • B
    The sum of powers to which the concentration terms are raised in the velocity equation
  • C
    The least number of molecules of the reactants needed for the reaction
  • D
    The number of reactants which take part in the reaction

For the reaction $Cl_{2(aq)} + H_2S_{(aq)} \to S_{(s)} + 2H^+_{(aq)} + 2Cl^-_{(aq)}$, the rate law is given by $\text{Rate} = K[Cl_2][H_2S]$. Which of the following mechanisms is consistent with this rate law?
$(A)$ $Cl_2 + H_2S \to H^+ + Cl^- + Cl^+ + HS^-$ (slow); $Cl^+ + HS^- \to H^+ + Cl^- + S$ (fast)
$(B)$ $H_2S \rightleftharpoons H^+ + HS^-$ (fast equilibrium); $Cl_2 + HS^- \to 2Cl^- + H^+ + S$ (slow)

The rate constant for a reaction is $10.8 \times 10^{-5} \ mol \ L^{-1} \ s^{-1}$. The order of the reaction is .......

For the reaction $2NO_{(g)} + O_{2_{(g)}} \rightarrow 2NO_{2_{(g)}}$,the volume of the reaction vessel is suddenly reduced to half of its original volume. If the reaction is first order with respect to $O_2$ and second order with respect to $NO$,the rate of the reaction will:

The rate law equation for a reaction is $R = k[x][y]$. The rate of reaction doubles when:

The hypothetical reaction : $2A + B \to C + D$ is catalyzed by $E$ as indicated in the possible mechanism below -
Step-$1$ : $A + E \rightleftharpoons AE$ (fast)
Step-$2$ : $AE + A \to A_2 + E$ (slow)
Step-$3$ : $A_2 + B \to C + D$ (fast)
What rate law best agrees with this mechanism?
