Assertion :The order of a reaction maybe negative. Reason:In some cases, the rate of reaction decreases as the concentration of the reactant increases.

The hydrolysis of an ester in acid medium is first order reaction. Half life period of a first order reaction is 20 seconds. How much time will it take to complete 90% of the reaction?

Assertion: The overall order of the reaction is the sum of the exponents of all the reactants in the rate expression. Reason: There are many higher order reactions

Assertion : Order of a reaction with respect to any reactant can be zero, positive, negative or fractional. Reason: Rate of a reaction cannot decrease with increase in concentration of a reactant or a product.

Assertion :For a first order reaction, the concentration of the reactant decreases exponentially with time. Reason: Rate of reaction at any time depends upon the concentration of the reactant at that time.
