From the rate expression for the following reactions, determine their order of reaction and the dimensions of the rate constants.
(i) 3 NO(g) → N2O (g) Rate = k[NO]2
(ii) H2O2 (aq) + 3 I− (aq) + 2 H+ → 2 H2O+ (I-) 3 Rate = k[H2O2][I−]
(iii) CH3CHO(g) → CH4(g) + CO(g) Rate = k [CH3CHO]3/2
(iv) C2H5Cl(g) → C2H4(g) + HCl(g) Rate = k [C2H5Cl]
Answer
(i)
Given that
Rate = k [NO]2
Order of the reaction = 2
Use formula
Dimension of rate = mol L-1 s-1
Dimension of concentration = mol L-1
Plug the values
Dimension of k
(ii)
Given that
Rate = k [H2O2] [I−]
Order of the reaction = 2
Use formula
Dimension of rate = mol L-1 s-1
Dimension of concentration = mol L-1
Plug the values
Dimension of k
(iii)
Given that
Rate = k [CH3CHO]3/2
Order of reaction = 3/2
Use formula
Dimension of rate = mol L-1 s-1
Dimension of concentration = mol L-1
Plug the values
Dimension of k
(iv)
Given that
Rate = k [C2H5Cl]
Order of the reaction = 1
use formula
Dimension of rate = mol L-1 s-1
Dimension of concentration = mol L-1
Plug the values
Dimension of k
