Why can’t molecularity of any reaction be equal to zero?
(N/A) Molecularity is defined as the number of reacting species (atoms,ions,or molecules) taking part in an elementary reaction,which must collide in order to bring about a chemical reaction. Since a chemical reaction cannot occur without the participation of at least one reactant molecule,the minimum value for molecularity is $1$. Therefore,molecularity cannot be zero.

View SolutionThe reaction $2A + B_{2} \rightarrow 2AB$ is an elementary reaction. For a certain quantity of reactants,if the volume of the reaction vessel is reduced by a factor of $3,$ the rate of the reaction increases by a factor of $.....$. (Round off to the Nearest Integer).
For the reaction $A + B \to \text{products}$,it is found that the rate of the reaction is proportional to the concentration of $A$,but it is independent of the concentration of $B$. Then:
