Correct answer: D
- Assume the rate law
For the reaction let the rate law be where and are the orders with respect to and .
- Use the information about
It is given that when concentration of alone was doubled, the half-life did not change.
For a reactant to have no effect on half-life here, the reaction must be zero order with respect to that reactant in the rate law. Thus,
So the rate law becomes
- Use the information about
When concentration of alone was doubled, the rate increased by two times. That means So,
Hence the rate law is This is an overall first-order reaction.
- Find the unit of
Rate has units:
From we get
- Match with options
So the correct option is D.
- Compare with stored answer
Stored correct answer is A: .
But from the given kinetic data, the reaction is first order overall, so the unit must be Therefore, I do not agree with the stored answer.
