Question

Which of the following statement is true for order of a reaction?

Options

• It cannot be determined experimentally.

• It depends on the stoichiometric coefficients of reactants as well as products.

• It can have fractional value.

• It can be written from the balanced chemical equation.

Answer 1

It can have fractional value.

Explanation:

The order of a reaction is experimentally determined by quantity. So it can be whole number value, negative, fractional, or zero.
