(A) First order
(B) Second order
(C) Zero order
(D) Any order

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

First order

Answer 2

The collision theory is generally satisfied for a reaction of the First Order.

According to collision theory, any reaction takes place due to collisions between the various reagents and substrates available. However, we must keep steric hindrance in mind, since only a certain number of molecules can effectively collide before they become too big to form any product. In the case of any order greater than one, the number of colliding particles are too high, and there is no effective product formation. Hence, first order reactions are ideal and satisfy collision theory.
