12. Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow: [5]
The order of the reaction is the sum of the powers of the concentration of the reactants in the
rate law. It can either be a whole number or a fraction the order of the reaction is determined
by the experimental methods based on this value, reactions may be classified as first-order,
second-order, third-order, etc. A reaction whose order is different from the actual due to large
excess concentration of one of the reactants is called pseudo order reaction. Another property
of a reaction called molecularity helps in understanding its mechanism. The number of
reacting species (atoms, ions, or molecules) taking part in an elementary reaction, which must
collide simultaneously in order to bring about a chemical reaction is called the molecularity of
a reaction. The reaction can be unimolecular when one reacting species is involved,
bimolecular reactions involve a simultaneous collision between two species & trimolecular or
termolecular reactions involve a simultaneous collision between three reacting species.
