From the rate expression for the following reaction,determine its order of reaction and the dimensions of the rate constant: $(iv) \ C_{2}H_{5}Cl_{(g)} \rightarrow C_{2}H_{4(g)} + HCl_{(g)} \quad \text{Rate} = k[C_{2}H_{5}Cl]$

(A) Given rate expression is $\text{Rate} = k[C_{2}H_{5}Cl]^1$.
Since the exponent of the concentration term $[C_{2}H_{5}Cl]$ is $1$,the order of the reaction is $1$.
The dimension of the rate constant $k$ is calculated as:
$k = \frac{\text{Rate}}{[C_{2}H_{5}Cl]} = \frac{\text{mol} \ L^{-1} \ s^{-1}}{\text{mol} \ L^{-1}} = s^{-1}$.

The rate constant of a first order reaction at $27^{\circ} C$ is $10^{-3} \ min^{-1}$. The temperature coefficient of this reaction is $2$. What is the rate constant (in $min^{-1}$) at $17^{\circ} C$ for this reaction?

The rate of the reaction: $2N_2O_5 \rightarrow 4NO_2 + O_2$ can be written in three ways.
$-\frac{d[N_2O_5]}{dt} = k[N_2O_5]$
$\frac{d[NO_2]}{dt} = k'[N_2O_5]$ ; $\frac{d[O_2]}{dt} = k''[N_2O_5]$
