Assertion: rate of reaction doubles when the concentration of the reactant is doubles if it is a first order reaction. Reason: rate constant also doubles (a) Both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion. (b) Both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion. (c) Assertion is true but reason is false. (d) Both assertion and reason are false.

Answer»

(c) Assertion is true but reason is false.

For a first reaction, when the concentration of reactant is doubled, then the rate of reaction also doubled. Rate constant is independent of concentration and is a constant at a constant temperature, i.e., it depends on the temperature and hence, it will not be doubled and when the concentration of the reactant is doubled.
