Question:
The order of a reaction for an esterification process is
The order of a reaction for an esterification process is
Updated On: Apr 30, 2024
- zero
- first
- second order
- pseudo first order
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
$\underset{carboxylic \, acid }{R-\overset {||^O}C -OH} + \underset {alcohol}{HO - R'} \xrightarrow {H^+} \underset {ester}{R - \overset {||^O}C - OR'} + H_2 O$
Rate of reaction= k [carboxylic acid] [alcohol]
So, order of reaction = 2
Rate of reaction= k [carboxylic acid] [alcohol]
So, order of reaction = 2

- Consider the following reaction
\[A + B \rightarrow C\]
The time taken for A to become 1/4th of its initial concentration is twice the time taken to become 1/2 of the same. Also, when the change of concentration of B is plotted against time, the resulting graph gives a straight line with a negative slope and a positive intercept on the concentration axis.

Order of Reaction
The Order of reaction refers to the relationship between the rate of a chemical reaction and the concentration of the species taking part in it. In order to obtain the reaction order, the rate equation of the reaction will given in the question.
Characteristics of the reaction order
- Reaction order represents the number of species whose concentration directly affects the rate of reaction.
- It can be obtained by adding all the exponents of the concentration terms in the rate expression.
- The order of reaction does not depend on the stoichiometric coefficients corresponding to each species in the balanced reaction.
- The reaction order of a chemical reaction is always defined with the help of reactant concentrations and not with product concentrations.
- Integer or a fraction form the value of the order of reaction will be there and it can be zero.
