Question

the rate constant of reaction is 5.2×10^-2 min inverse? what is order of reaction?​

Answer 1

Hey Dear,

◆ Answer -

First order reaction

◆ Explanation -

Unit of rate constant of the reaction depends on the order of reaction.

• Zero order reaction, Rate constant unit => conc.time⁻¹
• First order reaction, Rate constant unit => time⁻¹
• Second order reaction, Rate constant unit => conc⁻¹time⁻¹

Here, unit of rate constant is min⁻¹, thus this must be a first order reaction.

Hope this helps you...
