Correct Answer: D
Explanation:
The reaction between hydrogen,H2, and bromine, Br2, has been found to proceed by a complicated multistep radical reaction. The differential rate law, which is given as eqn 10.7, does not therefore have a simple form. In general, it is not possible to make any deductions about the kinetics of a reaction simply from the stoichiometry. Instead, it is necessary to consider the mechanism by which the reaction occurs.
