Discussion
Assertion (A): For a first order reaction the segregation and maximum mixedness limits give the same conversion.
Reason (R): A first order rate depends linearly on concentration, so averaging commutes with reacting.
Answer: A
Correct answer: Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A
Both are true and the reason gives the mathematics. A first order rate is linear in concentration, so the average of the reacted concentrations equals the reaction of the averaged concentration - averaging and reacting commute. The micromixing therefore cannot matter, and the two limits coincide. For any other order the operations do not commute and the bounds separate.
