What is the order of reaction for decomposition of gaseous acetaldehyde?

  1. A 1
  2. B 2
  3. C \(1.5\)
  4. D 0
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(1.5\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Decomposition of gaseous acetaldehyde,
\(\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CHO}_{(\mathrm{g})} \longrightarrow \mathrm{CH}_{4(\mathrm{~g})}+\mathrm{CO}_{(\mathrm{g})}\)
\(\therefore\) Rate \(=\mathrm{k}\left[\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CHO}\right]^{3 / 2}\)
The order of the reaction is \(1.5\)
