The rate of formation of a dimer in a second order reaction is 7.5 x 10-3 mol L-1 s-1 at 0.05 mol L-1 monomer concentration. Calculate the rate constant.

Answer»

Let us consider the dimensation of a monomer M

2M → (M)2

Rate = k [M]n 

Given that n =2 and [M] = 0.05 mol L-1

Rate = 7.5 x 10-3 mol L-1 s-1

Rate 7.5 x 103 mol L-1 s-1

k = \(\frac{Rate}{[M]^n}\)

k = \(\frac{7.5\times10^{-3}}{(0.05)^2}\) 

3 mol-1 Ls-1
