Q23 / 160 · AP EAMCET 2020 (23 Sep Shift 1) · Chemistry

The rate constant is same for 3 reactions of order I, II and III, respectively, the unit of concentration being in moles per litre. If the concentration of the reactant is unity, the rates of reaction R1, R2, R3 will be

  • Correct answer
    A
    R1=R2=R3
  • B
    R1<R2<R3
  • C
    R1>R2>R3
  • D
    R1=R2≠R3

Solution

Suppose R1, R2 and R3​ are the rates of three reactions of first, second and third-order, respectively, and k is the rate constant for all three reactions.

R1=kA R2=kA2 R3=kA3

A being the concentration of reaction A in mole per litre.

Now,

R1​=R2​=R3​

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
