Chemical Kinetics — Easy JEE chemistry MCQ
**[JEE Mains 2026]** Three experiments are running in separate vessels, following first-order kinetics with the same rate constant k:
Experiment-(A): 100 ml, 10 M
Experiment-(B): 200 ml, 10 M
Experiment-(C): 100 ml, 10 M + 100 ml H₂O
What is the correct order of rate of reaction in the above experiments?
- A. A > B > C
- B. A = B > C
- C. A = B = C
- D. C > A = B
Solution
For first-order reactions, rate = k[A].
A and B have same concentration (10 M), so same rate.
In C, concentration becomes 5 M due to dilution, so lower rate.
Order: A = B > C.
