Correct answer: A
The question asks for the order of two reactions (I) and (II), but the actual reaction schemes are not visible in the prompt. In haloalkanes/haloarenes, such questions almost always compare:
- an reaction → first-order kinetics, and
- an reaction → second-order kinetics.
So let us use the standard kinetic facts.
1. Rate law for an reaction
In an reaction, the slow step is the ionization of the substrate:
Since only the concentration of the haloalkane appears in the rate-determining step,
Hence, the reaction is first order.
2. Rate law for an reaction
In an reaction, the nucleophile attacks the substrate in a single concerted step:
So the rate depends on both reactants:
Hence, the reaction is second order.
3. Matching with the options
Thus, if reaction (I) is the type and reaction (II) is the type, then:
- Reaction (I): 1st order
- Reaction (II): 2nd order
This corresponds to:
4. Comparison with stored answer
Stored correct answer = A
Derived answer = A
So they agree.
