The decomposition of dimethyl ether leads to the formation of CH_(4),H_(2) and CO and the reaction rate is given by 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 the rate and rate constants ?

Answer»

Solution :In TERMS of PRESSURES, units of RATE `="bar "min^(-1)`
Units of `k=("Rate")/([P_(CH_(3)OCH_(3))]^(3//2))("bar min"^(-1))/("bar"^(3//2))="bar"^(-1//2)min^(-1).`
