Chemical Kinetics Question 7

Question 7 - 29 January - Shift 2

For conversion of compound $A \to B$, the rate constant of the reaction was found to be $4.6 \times 10^{-5}$ $L mol^{-1} s^{-1}$. The order of the reaction is

Show Answer

Answer: (2)

Solution:

As unit of rate constant is (conc.) ${ }^{1-n}$ time $^{-1}$

$ \Rightarrow(L mol^{-1}) \Rightarrow \begin{gathered} 1-n=-1 \\ n=2 \end{gathered} $
