What will be the effect of temperature on rate constant?
The rate constant of a reaction is nearly doubled with a $10^{\circ}$ rise in temperature. However, the exact dependence of the rate of a chemical reaction on temperature is given by Arrhenius equation,
$k= Ae ^{-E a / RT }$
Where,
$A$ is the Arrhenius factor or the frequency factor
$T$ is the temperature
$R$ is the gas constant
$E_{ a }$ is the activation energy
$A + B \to $ products, it is found that the rate of the reaction is proportional to the concentration of $A,$ but it is independent of the concentration of $B$, then
For the reaction
$2 \mathrm{H}_{2}(\mathrm{g})+2 \mathrm{NO}(\mathrm{g}) \rightarrow \mathrm{N}_{2}(\mathrm{g})+2 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(\mathrm{g})$
the observed rate expression is, rate $=\mathrm{k}_{\mathrm{f}}[\mathrm{NO}]^{2}\left[\mathrm{H}_{2}\right] .$ The rate expression of the reverse reaction is
Write about elementary and complex reactions.
Write general reaction and its differential rate equation and rate law.
The decomposition of dimethyl ether leads to the formation of $CH _{4}, H _{2}$ and $CO$ and the reaction rate is given by
Rate $=k\left[ CH _{3} OCH _{3}\right]^{3 / 2}$
The rate of reaction is followed by increase in pressure in a closed vessel, so the rate can also be expressed in terms of the partial pressure of dimethyl ether, i.e.
Rate $=k\left(p_{ CH _{3} OCH _{3}}\right)^{3 / 2}$
If the pressure is measured in bar and time in minutes, then what are the units of rate and rate constants?
