The rate law for decomposition N(2)O(5) ...

The rate law for decomposition `N_(2)O_(5)` is rate =`k[N_(2)O_(5)]`
What is the significance of k in the equation?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

k represents the rate constant or specific reaction rate for the reaction and is equal to the rate of reaction when concentration of `N_(2)O_(5)` is `1" mol L"^(-1)`.
