Question

The unit of rate constant for a reaction is $litr{e}^{2}mo{l}^{-2}{t}^{-1}$. The order of reaction is ______.

Answer 1

For nth order reaction, the unit of the rate constant is $litr{e}^{n-1}mo{l}^{1-n}{t}^{-1}$

Hence, $n-1=2$

$n=1+2=3$

The unit of rate constant for a reaction is $litr{e}^{2}mo{l}^{-2}{t}^{-1}$.

The order of the reaction is 3.
