B. Order of a reaction is experimentally determined quantity.
C. The order of a reaction is always equal to the sum of the stoichiometric coefficients of reactants in the balanced chemical equation for a reaction.
D. The order of a reaction is the sum of the powers of molar concentration of the reactants in the rate law expression.

Answer

C

Explanation

Order of reaction may or may not be equal to sum of stoichiometric coefficients. Hence, ( c ) is not correct.
