Write the unit of the rate constant for the following reactions:
$1.$ Fourth order
$2.$ Third order
$1.$ Fourth order
$2.$ Third order
(N/A) The general formula for the unit of the rate constant $(k)$ for a reaction of order $n$ is given by:
Unit of $k = (mol \ L^{-1})^{1-n} \ s^{-1}$
$1.$ For a fourth order reaction $(n = 4)$:
Unit of $k = (mol \ L^{-1})^{1-4} \ s^{-1} = (mol \ L^{-1})^{-3} \ s^{-1} = mol^{-3} \ L^3 \ s^{-1}$
$2.$ For a third order reaction $(n = 3)$:
Unit of $k = (mol \ L^{-1})^{1-3} \ s^{-1} = (mol \ L^{-1})^{-2} \ s^{-1} = mol^{-2} \ L^2 \ s^{-1}$
Unit of $k = (mol \ L^{-1})^{1-n} \ s^{-1}$

The unit of rate constant $K$ for a third-order reaction is . . . . . . .
The following reactions occur for the reaction of $NO$ with $Br_2$ to form $NOBr$:
$NO_{(g)} + Br_{2_{(g)}} \rightleftharpoons NOBr_{2_{(g)}}$
$NOBr_{2_{(g)}} + NO_{(g)} \rightarrow 2 NOBr_{(g)}$
If the second reaction is the rate-determining step,the order of the reaction with respect to $NO_{(g)}$ will be:
$NO_{(g)} + Br_{2_{(g)}} \rightleftharpoons NOBr_{2_{(g)}}$
$NOBr_{2_{(g)}} + NO_{(g)} \rightarrow 2 NOBr_{(g)}$
If the second reaction is the rate-determining step,the order of the reaction with respect to $NO_{(g)}$ will be:
