Assertion Reason (1 mark each)


6. ASSERTION – Order of reaction can be zero or fractional.
REASON – Order of a reaction cannot be determined from a balanced chemical
reaction.
7. ASSERTION – Order and molecularity of a reaction is always same.
REASON – Order is determined experimentally whereas molecularity by a balanced
elementary reaction.
8. ASSERTION – Rate constant of a zero order reaction has the same unit as the rate of
a reaction.
REASON – Rate constant of a zero order reaction does not depend upon the
concentration of the reactant.
9. ASSERTION – In a first order reaction, the concentration of the reactant is doubled,
its half-life is also doubled.
REASON – Half-life of a reaction does not depend upon initial concentration of the
reactant in a first order reaction.
10. ASSERTION – Average rate and instantaneous rate of a reaction has the same unit.
REASON – Average rate becomes instantaneous rate when time interval is too small.
