Q. Assertion: For the reaction
$CHCl_{3} + Cl_{2} \to CCl_{4} + HCl$
Rate $= k[CHCl_{3}] [Cl_{2}]^{1/2}$
Reason: Rate of reaction is always equal to the sum of the stoichiometric coefficients of the reacting species in a balanced chemical equation.

Chemical Kinetics

Solution:

Rate of reaction depends upon the experimental conditions such as concentration of reactants, temperature and catalyst. It may or may not be equal to the stoichiometric coefficients of the reacting species in a balanced chemical equation.
