For a reaction \(A \rightarrow C + D\), the initial concentration of \(A\) is \(0.010\ M\).
After \(100\ s\), the concentration of \(A\) is \(0.001\ M\).
The rate constant has numerical value 9.0.
The order of reaction is:

  1. A Zero order
  2. B First order
  3. C Second order
  4. D Third order
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) Second order

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\frac{1}{[A]_t} - \frac{1}{[A]_0} = kt\) \(\frac{1}{0.001} - \frac{1}{0.010} = k \times 100\) \(1000 - 100 = 100k\) \(900 = 100k\) \(k = 9.0\) Matches given numerical value. Second order
