Chapter 6, Problem 6B.3E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

When the partial pressures are in kilopascals and the rate is expressed in kilopascals per second, then the units of the rate constant in the rate law have to be found.

Concept Introduction:

The rate of reaction is the quantity of formation of product or the quantity of reactant used per unit time. The rate of reaction doesn’t depend on the sum of amount of reaction mixture used.

The raise in molar concentration of product of a reaction per unit time or decrease in molarity of reactant per unit time is called rate of reaction and is expressed in units of $\text{mol/(L}\text{.s)}$ .

The equation that relates the reaction rate to the reactants concentrations that is raised to various powers is called as rate law.

Rate law can be determined by the slow step or otherwise called as rate-determining step.

Rate constant is defined as proportionality constant in the connection between rate and concentrations.
