Question

From the rate expression for the following reactions, determine their order of reaction and the dimensions of the rate constants.
(i) 2NO(g)N2O(g); Rate=k[NO]2
(ii) H2O2(aq)+3I(aq)+2H+2H2O(I)+3I; Rate=k[H2O2][I]
(iii) CH3CHO(g)CH4(g)+CO(g); Rate=k[CH3CHO]3/2
(iv) C2H5Cl(g)C2H4(g)+HCl(g); Rate=k[C2H5Cl]

Solution

(i) 3NO(g)N2O(g)Rate=k[NO]2
Order w.r.t NO is 2 and overall order is 2.
Dimensions of the rate constant
molL1s=k(molL1)2k=mol1L1s1
(ii) H2O2(aq)+3I(aq)+2H+2H2O(I)+I3Rate=k[H2O2][I]
Order w.r.t H2O2 is 1, order w.r.t I is 1 and overall order is 2.
Dimensions of the rate constant
molL1s=k(molL1)2k=mol1L1s1
(iii) CH3CHO(g)CH4(g)+CO(g)Rate=k[CH3CHO]3/2
Order w.r.t CH3CHO is 3/2 and overall order is 3/2.
Dimensions of the rate constant
molL1s=k(molL1)3/2k=mol1/2L1/2s1
(iv) C2H5Cl(g)C2H4(g)+HCl(g)Rate=k[C2H5Cl]
Order w.r.t C2H5Cl is 1, and overall order is 1.
Dimensions of the rate constant
molL1s=k(molL1)1k=s1
