Question

What will be the units of rate of a reaction in gaseous reactions?

Answer 1

$\huge \boxed{answer}$

Units of rate of reaction are concentration ${time}^{ - 1}$. So, if concentration is in mol ${L}^{ - 1}$ and time is in second, then unit for rate of reaction will be mol ${L}^{ - 1} {s}^{ - 1}$. But, in gaseous reactions, when concentration of gases is expressed in terms of their partial pressure, the units of rate will be ${atm}^{ - 1}$.

Answer 2

Units of rate of reaction are concentration time-1. So, if concentration is in mol L-1 and time is in second, then unit for rate of reaction will be mol L-1 s-1. But, in gaseous reactions, when concentration of gases is expressed in terms of their partial pressure, the units of rate will be atm -1.
