The rate constant of a reaction is k=3.28 × 10^-4 s^-1. Find the order of the reaction.(a) Zero order(b) First order(c) Second order(d) Third orderI got this question in an interview for internship.Asked question is from Rate of a Chemical Reaction topic in portion Chemical Kinetics of Chemistry – Class 12

Answer»

The correct answer is (B) FIRST order

Best explanation: Given,

 k= 3.28 × 10^-4 s^-1

 The general formula to find the UNITS for rate constant, k=(mol L^-1)^1-ns^-1 where n is the order of the reaction. The VALUE of n must be 1 for (mol L^-1)^1-ns^-1 to become s^-1. Therefore, k=3.28 × 10^-4s^-1 represents a first order reaction.
