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?
If pressure is measured in bar and time in minutes, then
Unit of rate $=$ bar $\min ^{-1}$
Rate $ = k{\left( {{p_{C{H_3}OC{H_3}}}} \right)^{3/2}}$
$ \Rightarrow k = \frac{{{\rm{ Rate }}}}{{{{\left( {{p_{C{H_3}OC{H_3}}}} \right)}^{3/2}}}}$
Therefore, unit of rate constants $(k)=\frac{\text { bar min }^{-1}}{\operatorname{bar}^{3 / 2}}$
$ = ba{r^{ - 1/2}}{\min ^{ - 1}}$
Differential form of the rate equation is
$\frac{{dx}}{{dt}} = k\left[ P \right]{\left[ Q \right]^{0.5}}{\left[ R \right]^{0.5}}$
Which statement about the above equation is wrong?
Following is the rate constant of reaction what is the overall order of reaction ?
$(a)$ $6.66 \times 10^{-3} \,s ^{-1}$
$(b)$ $4.5 \times 10^{-2} \,mol ^{-1} \,L \,s ^{-1}$
The rate of certain reaction depends on concentration according to the equation $\frac{{ - dc}}{{dt}}\, = \,\frac{{{K_1}C}}{{1 + {K_2}C}},$ what is the order, when concentration $(c)$ is very-very high
The reaction $2 NO + Br _2 \rightarrow 2 NOBr$
takes places through the mechanism given below :
$NO + Br _2 \Leftrightarrow NOBr _2 \text { (fast) }$
$NOBr _2+ NO \rightarrow 2 NOBr \text { (slow) }$
The overall order of the reaction is $.....$.
The elementary reaction $2SO_2(g) + O_2(g) \to 2SO_3(g)$ is carried out in $1\, dm^3$ vessel and $2\,dm^3$ vessel separately. The ratio of the reaction velocities will be
