The overall reaction order for A + B → C + D is two. It implies that ______
(a) reaction may be non-elementary and molecularity is two
(b) reaction may be elementary and molecularity is two
(c) reaction is non-elementary and molecularity is two
(d) reaction is elementary and molecularity is two
I have been asked this question in semester exam.
This intriguing question originated from Reaction Order and Elementary Rate Law topic in section Rate Laws and Stoichiometry of Chemical Reaction Engineering
