The rate constant for a chemical reactio...

The rate constant for a chemical reaction has unit litre `mol^(-1) sec^(-1)`. Find the order of the reaction.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
2
For a reaction of order `n`,
unit of `K= (mol litre^(-1))^(1-n) time^(-1)`
`:.` Given order is `litre^(-1) mol^(-1) sec^(-1)`, it is possible only
when `n=2`
