Question

If for a reaction A → products, the concentration of A are C0, a·C0, a^2·C0, a^3·C0... after time interval 0, t, 2t, 3t..., where a is constant and 0 < a < 1. The order of reaction is

Prashant Kotian · Accepted Answer

Correct answer: 1. The concentration of the reactant decreases geometrically over equal intervals of time. This exponential decay characteristic perfectly describes a first-order reaction ([A] = [A]0 * e^-kt, where e^-kt acts as the geometric factor 'a'). Therefore, correct answer is 1.
