B. For negative reaction orders (e.g.n=-1), pressure drop will:
over and above what it would be if there were no pressure drop.

Solution

As the pressure decreases, the rate increases over that which it would be without the pressure drop. Consequently the conversion will increase over that which it would be without the pressure drop. Ans. (a).
