Rate law expression cannot be determined from a balanced chemical equation if.

(a) The reverse reaction is involved.
(b) It is an elementary reaction.
(c) It is a sequence of elementary reactions.
(d) Any of the reactants is in excess.

The correct choice among the given is:

1. (a, b and c)

2. (b, c and d)

3. (a, c and d)

4. (a, b and d)

Hint: For elementary reaction balanced equation can be used to find rate of the reaction

Rate law can be determined from a balanced chemical equation if it is an elementary reaction. The rate law for a complex reaction find experimentally not from balanced equation.
