For a reaction the rate law expression is represented as follows:
Rate `=k[A][B]^(1//2)`
i. Interpret whether the reaction is elementary or complex. Give reason to support your answer.
ii. Write the units of rate constant for this reaction if concentration of A and B is expressed in moles/L.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Reaction is a complex reaction.
Order of reaction is 1.5.
Molecularity cannot be 1.5, it has no meaning for this reaction. The reaction occurs in steps, so it is a complex reaction.
(ii)units of k are `mol^(-1//2)L^(1//2)s^(-1)`
