Chemical Kinetics Question 143
Question: Diazonium salt decomposes as $ C_6H_5N_2^{+}C{l^{-}}\to C_6H_5Cl+N_2 $ At $ 0^{o}C $ , the evolution of $ N_2 $ becomes two times faster when the initial concentration of the salt is doubled. Therefore, it is [MNR 1994; UPSEAT 2002]
Options:
A) A first order reaction
B) A second order reaction
C) Independent of the initial concentration of the salt
D) A zero order reaction
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
As doubling the initial conc. doubles the rate of reaction, order = 1.
