Solution and Explanation
- Order of reaction is the sum of the powers of the concentrations of reactants in the rate law expression, while molecularity is the number of molecules (or ions) that collide to give a reaction.
- The order of a reaction is determined experimentally, whereas molecularity can be determined from the stoichiometry of the reaction.
- The order of a reaction is determined experimentally, whereas molecularity can be determined from the stoichiometry of the reaction.

Rupal, Shanu and Trisha were partners in a firm sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 4:3:1. Their Balance Sheet as at 31st March, 2024 was as follows:
(i) Trisha's share of profit was entirely taken by Shanu.
(ii) Fixed assets were found to be undervalued by Rs 2,40,000.
(iii) Stock was revalued at Rs 2,00,000.
(iv) Goodwill of the firm was valued at Rs 8,00,000 on Trisha's retirement.
(v) The total capital of the new firm was fixed at Rs 16,00,000 which was adjusted according to the new profit sharing ratio of the partners. For this necessary cash was paid off or brought in by the partners as the case may be.
