Question : 4
Total: 39
The decomposition of dimethyl ether leads to the formation of CH4,H2 and CO and the reaction rate is given by
Rate =k [ CH3OCH3 ]32
The rate of reaction is followed by increase in pressure in closed vessel, sothe rate can also be expressed in terms of the partial pressure of dimethylether, i.e.,
Rate =k [ pCH3OCH3 ]32
If the pressure is measured in bar and time in minutes, then what are theunits of rate and rate constants ?
Solution:  
In terms of pressure,
Units of rate = bar min1
Units of k=
Rate
(p CH3 OCH3 )32

=
bar min1
bar32

= bar12min1
