Question

Rate law for the reaction,
$\text{C}_2\text{H}_5\text{I}_{(g)} \longrightarrow \text{C}_2\text{H}_{4(g)} + \text{HI}_{(g)}$ is $\text{r} = \text{k} [\text{C}_2\text{H}_5\text{I}]$
What is the order and molecularity of this reaction?

• A. order and molecularity both are 1
• B. order is 1 and molecularity is 2
• C. order and molecularity both are 2
• D. order is 2 and molecularity is 1

Hint:

For elementary reactions, molecularity and order are usually identical.
