The decomposition of dimethyl ether is a fractional order reaction. The rate of reaction is givenby rate `= k (p_(CH_(3)OCH_(3)))^(3//2)`. If the pressure is measured in bar and time in minutes, then what are the units of rate and constant?A. bar `"min"^(-1), "bar"^(2) "min"^(-1)`B. bar `"min"^(-1), "bar"^(2), "min"^(-1)`C. `"bar"^(-1//2) "min"^(-1),"bar"^(2),"min"^(-1)`D. bar `"min"^(-1), "bar"^(1//2) "min"^(-1)`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
In terms of pressure
Rate `k = (P_(CH_(3)OCH_(3))^(3//2))`
Unit of rate = bar `"min"^(-1)`
Unit of rate constant = `("rate")/((p_(CH_(3)OCH_(3))^(3//2))`
`= ("bar" "min"^(-1))/("bar"^(3//2)) = "bar"^(-1//2) "min"^(-1)`
