Question
For a reaction : 
(i) Write the order and molecularity of this reaction.
(ii) Write the unit of k.
Advertisements
Solution
(i) This reaction is catalysed by Pt at high pressure. So, it is a zero-order reaction with molecularity 2.
(ii) The rate law expression for this reaction is
Rate = k
Hence, the unit of k is mol L−1 s−1.
