A vapour phase catalytic reaction (Q+R→S) follows Rideal mechanism (R and S are not adsorbed). Initially, the mixture contains only the reactants in equimolar ratio. The surface reaction step is rate controlling. With constants a and b, the initial rate of reaction (-ro) in terms of total pressure (PT) is given by
A
-ro=(aPT)/(1+bPT)
B
-ro=(aPT)/(1+bPT2)
C
-ro=(aPT2)/(1+bPT)
D
-ro=(aPT2)/((1+bPT)2)

Correct : c
