Question #5f1ce

Answer 1

The correct answer is (d).

Explanation:

Option (a) is what people who design quizzes call a "distractor".

If you have no idea how to get the correct answer or if, for some reason, you might think that a `color(red)("fourth")"-order"` reaction has a rate constant of `color(red)(4) color(white)(l)"s"^(-1)`.

You will be distracted from the correct answer and select option (a).

You are absolutely correct: Without information on the rate and the concentrations, there is no way you can give a numerical value for the rate constant.

Teachers have ingenious ways to discover if you really understand a concept.
