    For the decomposition of a compound AB at 600 K, the following data were obtained
    \[[AB]\,mol\,\,d{{m}^{-3}}\] Rate of decomposition of AB in \[mol\,d{{m}^{-3}}\,{{s}^{-1}}\]
    \[0.20\] \[2.75\times {{10}^{-8}}\]
    \[0.40\] \[11.0\times {{10}^{-8}}\]
    \[0.60\] \[24.75\times {{10}^{-8}}\]
    The order for the decomposition of AB is

    A)  \[1.5\]             

    B) \[0\]

    C)   \[1\]            

    D) \[2\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[AB\xrightarrow{{}}\text{Product}\]               Rate \[=k{{[AB]}^{n}}\] \[{{(Rate)}_{1}}=k{{[0.20]}^{n}}=2.75\times {{10}^{-8}}\].....(i)    \[{{(Rate)}_{2}}=k{{[0.40]}^{n}}=11.0\times {{10}^{-8}}\] ?..(ii) Dividing Eq. (ii) by Eq. (i), \[\frac{{{(Rate)}_{2}}}{{{(Rate)}_{1}}}=\frac{k{{[0.40]}^{n}}}{k{{[0.20]}^{n}}}=\frac{11.0\times {{10}^{-8}}}{2.75\times {{10}^{-8}}}\] \[{{2}^{n}}=4\] or \[{{2}^{n}}={{2}^{2}}\] Hence, \[n=2\]
