Hydrolysis of methyl acetate in aq. solution has been studied by titrating the liberated acetic acid against solidum hydroxide. The conc. of the ester at different time is given below :

Time $(t)$ $\min$ $0$ $30$ $60$ $90$
Con. of ester
$(C)$
$0.850$ $0.800$ $0.754$

$0.710$

Show that it follows a pseudo first order reaction as the conc. of  $H_2O$ remain nearly constant $(54.2\,mol\,L^{-1})$ during the course of the reaction. What is the value of $k'$ in this reaction ?

The decomposition of dimethyl ether leads to the formation of $CH _{4}, H _{2}$ and $CO$ and the reaction rate is given by

Rate $=k\left[ CH _{3} OCH _{3}\right]^{3 / 2}$

The rate of reaction is followed by increase in pressure in a closed vessel, so the rate can also be expressed in terms of the partial pressure of dimethyl ether, i.e.

Rate $=k\left(p_{ CH _{3} OCH _{3}}\right)^{3 / 2}$

If the pressure is measured in bar and time in minutes, then what are the units of rate and rate constants?
