    The rate of the reaction\[A\xrightarrow{{}}\]products, at the initial concentration of\[3.24\times {{10}^{-2}}M\]is nine times its rate at another initial concentration of\[1.2\times {{10}^{-3}}M\]. The order of the reaction is

    A)  \[\frac{1}{2}\]                  

    B)         \[\frac{3}{4}\]

    C)  \[\frac{3}{2}\]                  

    D)         \[\frac{2}{3}\]

    E)  \[\frac{1}{3}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    For the reaction\[A\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}\]products; let the order of reaction is n. Then                 \[r=k{{[A]}^{n}}\] \[=k\times {{(1.2\times {{10}^{-3}})}^{n}}\]                     ...(i) At the initial concentration of\[3.24\times {{10}^{-2}}M,\]the rate is\[\theta \]times. Hence, \[9r=k\times {{(3.24\times {{10}^{-2}})}^{n}}\]               ...(ii) On dividing, \[\frac{9r}{r}=\frac{k\times {{(3.24\times {{10}^{-2}})}^{n}}}{k\times {{(1.2\times {{10}^{-3}})}^{n}}}\]                 \[9={{(27)}^{n}}\]                 \[9={{({{3}^{3}})}^{2/3}}\] \[\therefore \]  \[n=\frac{2}{3}\]
