For a reaction A Product, rate constant is 6.93 10⁻³ hour ⁻¹ . What is order of reaction?
Options
- AZero
- B1
- C1.5
- D2
Correct answer
B. 1
Step-by-step solution
The units of the rate constant depend on the reaction order, with the general form Units of k = (concentration) 1− n · (time) −1 , where n is the order. Given units are hour −1 , equivalent to (time) −1 . Comparing with the general formula, (concentration) 1− n must be dimensionless for equality to hold, implying 1 − n = 0 . Solving gives n = 1 , confirming a first-order reaction.
