In the following question, a statement of Assertion The answer is the option (i) followed by a statement of Reason (R) is given. Choose the correct option out of the following choices:
Assertion The answer is the option (i): Order and molecularity are same.
Reason (R): Order is determined experimentally, and molecularity is the sum of the stoichiometric coefficient of rate determining elementary step.
(i) Both Assertion and Reason are correct and the reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
(ii) Both assertion and reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion
(iii) Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
(iv) Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect.
(v) Assertion is incorrect but Reason is correct.
The answer is the option (v). While balanced stoichiometric equation is used to calculate molecularity order can only be measured through experiments.
