What is the order of the reaction which has rate constant, `k=3 xx 10^(-4)" mol"^ L(-1)" s"^(-1)`?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Comparing the unit of k with the general unit `("mol L"^(-1))^(1-n)"s "^(-1)`, we get mol`""^(1-n) =" mol"^(-1)`
`rArr 1 - n =1`
`rArr n=2`
Thus, reaction is of second order.
