**Reason:** The order of reaction cannot be written from the balanced equation of a reaction.

(A)Assertion is True, Reason is True; Reason is correct explanation for Assertion
(B)Assertion is True, Reason is True; Reason is not correct explanation for AssertionCorrect
(C)Assertion is True, Reason is False
(D)Assertion is False, Reason is True

Answer: (B)

Solution

Order is an experimentally determined quantity and can indeed take fractional values (e.g. ) — the Assertion is true. The Reason, that order cannot be deduced from the balanced equation (since it must be
