For a reaction the rate law expression is represented as follows: Rate = k [A][B]\(\frac{1}{2}\) i. Interpret whether the reaction is elementary or complex. Give reason to support your answer. ii. Write the units of rate constant for this reaction if concentration of A and B is expressed in moles/L. |

Answer» (i) Reaction is a complex reaction. Order of reaction is 1.5. Molecularity cannot be 1.5, it has no meaning for this reaction. The reaction occurs in steps, so it is a complex reaction. (ii) units of k are \(mol^{-\frac{1}{2}}L^{\frac{1}{2}}s^{-1}\) |
