Pick out the wrong statement.

A. In a first order reaction, A → products; the reaction becomes slower as it proceeds, because the concentration of A decreases and the rate is proportional to the concentration of A

B. Transition state theory approaches the problem of calculating reaction rates by concentrating on the idea of activated complexes

C. According to the penetration theory, the mass transfer co-efficient decreases, if the exposure time of an eddy to the solute decreases

D. If the rate of an irreversible reaction, A + B → 2C is k.CA.CB, then the reaction is always elementary

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 (keff) 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. $$\frac{1}{{{{\text{k}}_{\text{e}}}{\text{ff}}}} = \frac{1}{{\text{k}}} + \frac{1}{{{{\text{k}}_{\text{g}}}}}$$
