Question

3. For a gas reaction at 400K, the rate is expressed a -dpA/dt 3.66 atm.h-. What is the unit for the rate constant?

Answer 1

Rate constant is defined as a proportionality constant which relates the rate of reaction to the concentration of reactant. It is generally denoted by K.

$\text {Unit of constant is} 3.66 \frac{1}{\mathrm{atm} . \mathrm{hr}} \text { and value of constant } \mathrm{k} \text { is } 12171.7 \frac{\mathrm{m}^{3}}{\mathrm{mol} . \mathrm{s}}$
