Q83. Consider the following reaction

A + B C
The time taken for A to become 1/4th of its initial concentration is twice the time taken to become
½ of the same. Also, when the change of concentration of B is plotted against time, the resulting
graph gives a straight line with a negative slope and positive intercept on the concentration axis.
The overall order of the reaction is______.
Ans. 1
A
Sol. A tx
2
A
A t  2x
4
So order with respect to A = 0

t
Order with respect to B = 0 order with respect to.
