Chapter 17, Problem 17.51P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The National Institute of Science and Technology kinetics database lists the rate constant of a reaction as $\text{1}\text{.2}\text{×}{\text{10}}^{\text{-10}}{\text{cm}}^{\text{3}}\cdot {\text{molecule}}^{\text{-1}}\cdot {\text{s}}^{\text{-1}}$ at $\text{298}\text{K}$.  The rate constant has to be determined in the units of ${\text{M}}^{\text{-1}}\cdot {\text{s}}^{\text{-1}}\text{and}{\text{Torr}}^{\text{-1}}\cdot {\text{s}}^{\text{-1}}$.  Also, the order of the reaction has to be given.
