Solution

The correct option is A increases
Pressure is one of the factors which affects the rate of the reactions. On increasing the pressure of the gases the molecules come closer which further increases the number of molecules per unit volume. The number of collision of molecules increases which increase the rate of the reaction.

The decomposition of dimethyl ether leads to the formation of CH₄, H₂ and CO and the reaction rate is given by

Rate = k [CH₃OCH₃]^3/2

The rate of reaction is followed by increase in pressure in a closed vessel, so the rate can also be expressed in terms of the partial pressure of dimethyl ether, i.e.,

If the pressure is measured in bar andtime in minutes, then what are the units of rate and rate constants?

The decomposition of dimethyl ether leads to the formation of $C H_{4}$ , $H_{2}$ and $C O$ and the reaction rate is given by:

Rate $= k [C H_{3} O C H_{3}]^{\frac{3}{2}}$ . The rate of reaction is followed by increase in pressure in a closed vessel, so the rate can be expressed in terms of the partial pressure of dimethyl ether i.e. Rate = $k (p_{C H_{3} O C H_{3}})^{\frac{3}{2}}$ . If the pressure is measured in bar and time in minutes, then what are the units of rate and rate constants?

Q. As pressure increases, the rate of reaction

Q. As pressure increases, the rate of reaction decreases.

When the pressure of a reaction increases then the rate of the reaction decreases.
