Which of the following reactions follows elementary rate law?(a) Formation of hydrogen bromide(b) Vapor phase decomposition of ethanal(c) Cis-trans isomerization(d) Reversible catalytic decomposition of isopropylbenzeneI got this question at a job interview.The question is from Non in section Rate Laws and Stoichiometry of Chemical Reaction Engineering

Answer»

Right choice is (C) Cis-trans ISOMERIZATION

The explanation: Cis-trans isomerization follows elementary RATE laws. Hydrogen bromide formation reaction as well as the reversible catalytic decomposition of isopropylbenzene are non-elementary in NATURE. Rate of vapor phase decomposition of ethanal is proportional to Cethanal^3/2.
