For a `1^(st)` order decomposition,

overall k will be given by :

A

`k=k_(1)+k_(2)+….+k_(n)`

B

`k=(k_(1)+k_(2)+….+k_(n))//n`

C

`k=k_(1)xxk_(2)xx….xxk_(n)`

D

none of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

`(-d[A])/(dt) =k_(1)[A]+k_(2) [A] + ……+k_(n) [A] =k[A]`
Where k is the overall rate of reaction `(k_(1)+k_(2)+….+k_(n))[A]=k[A] rArr k_(1)+k_(2)+….+k_(n)=k`
