#### Question

The decomposition of dimethyl ether leads to the formation of CH4, H2 and CO and the reaction rate is given by

Rate = [CH3OCH3]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(p_(CH_3OCH_3))^(3/2)

If the pressure is measured in bar andtime in minutes, then what are the units of rate and rate constants?
