Question

Which of the following method is used to determine the order of the reaction in which two or more reactants take part?

(a) Integration method

(b) Half life period method

(c) Graphical method

(d) Ostwald’s isolation method

The question was posed to me in unit test.

My doubt is from Effect of Temperature on reaction rate topic in section Reaction Dynamics of Engineering Chemistry I

Answer 1

Correct option is (d) Ostwald’s isolation method

Easy explanation: Ostwald’s isolation method is used to determine the order of the reaction in which two or more reactants take part. Kinetic isolation conditions were identified that enabled determination of the reaction order for interfacial charge recombination.
