According to the 'law of mass action', the rate of reaction is directly proportional to the

A first order gaseous phase reaction is catalysed by a non-porous solid. The kinetic rate constant and the external mass transfer co-efficients are k and $${{\text{k}}_{\text{g}}}$$ respectively. The effective rate constant (k_eff) is given by

A. $${{\text{k}}_{\text{e}}}{\text{ff}} = {\text{k}} + {{\text{k}}_{\text{g}}}$$

B. $${{\text{k}}_{\text{e}}}{\text{ff}} = \frac{{{\text{k}} + {{\text{k}}_{\text{g}}}}}{2}$$

C. $${{\text{k}}_{\text{e}}}{\text{ff}} = {\left( {{\text{k}}{{\text{k}}_{\text{g}}}} \right)^{\frac{1}{2}}}$$

D. $$\frac{1}{{{{\text{k}}_{\text{e}}}{\text{ff}}}} = \frac{1}{{\text{k}}} + \frac{1}{{{{\text{k}}_{\text{g}}}}}$$

B. 2.5 K

C. $$\frac{{0.693}}{{\text{K}}}$$

D. 6.93 K
