Question

Match the details given in Column I with those given in Column II:

• A. A = S, B = R, C = P, D = Q
• B. A = S, B = Q, C = D, D = P
• C. A = R, B = S, C = D, D = Q
• D. A = P, B = S, C = Q, D = P

Hint:

In reaction kinetics, the rate law provides the relationship between reaction rate and concentrations of reactants. For complex reactions, the slowest step often determines the rate.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Let's examine each match: % Option (A) A: For complex reactions order is determined by matches with R: Slowest rate determining step. % Option (B) B: For zero order reaction unit of k is same as that of matches with S: Rate law. % Option (C) C: Mathematical expression which gives relationship matches with D: For a first order reaction plot of log \([R_0]/[R]\) vs time gives. % Option (D) D: For a first order reaction plot of log \([R_0]/[R]\) vs time gives matches with Q: Slope = k/2.303. Thus, the correct match is: \[ A = R, B = S, C = D, D = Q \]
