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.

Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow:

The rate of reaction is concerned with decrease in the concentration of reactants or increase in the concentration of products per unit of time. It can be expressed as instantaneous rate at a particular instant of time and average rate over a large interval of time. A number of factors such as temperature, concentration of reactants, catalyst affect the rate of reaction. Mathematical representation of rate of a reaction is given by rate law:

Rate = k[A]x [B]y

x and y indicate how sensitive the rate is to change in concentration of A and B. Sum of x + y gives the overall order of a reaction.
When a sequence of elementary reactions gives us the products, the reaction is called complex reaction. Molecularity and order of an elementary reaction are same. Zero-order reactions are relatively uncommon but they occur under special conditions. All natural and artificial radioactive decay of unstable nuclei takes place by first-order kinetics.
