Multiple choice

The diazonium salt decomposes as, C6H5N2+Cl- $\to$ C6H5Cl + N2. At 00 C, the evolution of nitrogen becomes two times faster when the initial concentration of the salt doubles. Therefore, it is a

  1. first order reaction

  2. second order reaction

  3. third order reaction

  4. zero order reaction

A Correct answer
Explanation

Since the evolution of nitrogen becomes two times faster when the initial concentration of the salt is doubled, so it is a first order reaction.
