For the reaction CH(3)CHO(g)rarrCH(4)(g)...

For the reaction `CH_(3)CHO(g)rarrCH_(4)(g)+CO(g)` the experimentally deduced rate equation is given by , rate `=k[CH_(3)CHO]^(3//2)`. Can this reaction be an elementary ? If not, explain.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

For an elementary reaction, order and molecularity and order are same. If the given reaction is an elementary reaction , then its molecularity will be `(3)/(2)` , but molecularity is always an integer. Therefore , the given reaction is not an elementary reaction.
