Which of the following statement is true for the reaction, The rate law is \left

Which of the following statement is true for the reaction, \( \boldsymbol{H}_{2}+\boldsymbol{B} \boldsymbol{r}_{2} \rightarrow \boldsymbol{2} \boldsymbol{H} \boldsymbol{B} \boldsymbol{r} \) The rate law is \( \frac{\boldsymbol{d} \boldsymbol{x}}{\boldsymbol{d} \boldsymbol{t}}=\boldsymbol{k}\left[\boldsymbol{H}_{2}\right]\left[\boldsymbol{B} \boldsymbol{r}_{2}\right]^{1 / 2} \)

  • A. order of reaction is 1.5
  • B. molecularity of the reaction is 2
  • C. by increasing the concentration of \( B r_{2} \) four times the rate of reaction is doubled
  • D. all the above are correct

Step-by-step solution

A: Order = sum of exponents (1 + 1/2) = 1.5, true. B: Molecularity of the overall reaction is 2 from stoichiometric coefficients, true. C: Rate ∝ [Br₂]^{1/2}; fourfold increase in [Br₂] doubles rate, true. Hence all three statements are correct.
