Problem

Diazonium salt decomposes as C6H5N2+Cl−→C6H5Cl+N2\text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{N}_2^+\text{Cl}^-\rightarrow\text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{Cl}+\text{N}_2. At 0∘C0^\circ\text{C}, the evolution of N2\text{N}_2 becomes two times faster when the initial concentration of the salt is doubled. Therefore, it is a (a) first-order reaction (b) second-order reaction (c) reaction independent of the initial concentration of the salt (d) zero-order reaction
