For the parallel reaction A → B and A → C, of rate constants k1 and k2 respectively, both reactions of order 1, the rate expression is given as ____(a) (-rA) = k1CA + k2CA(b) (-rA) = k1CA – k2CA(c) (-rA) = k2CA(d) (-rA) = k1CAThe question was asked by my college director while I was bunking the class.Origin of the question is Reducing the Size of Kinetic Models topic in portion Elements of Reaction Kinetics of Chemical Reaction Engineering

Answer»

Correct OPTION is (a) (-rA) = k1CA + k2CA

For EXPLANATION I would say: For a zero order reaction, \(\frac{-dC_A}{DT}\) = k1CA + k2CA

A forms two products: B and C. The CONCENTRATION of A decreases as the reaction progresses.
