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 a closed vessel, so the rate can be expressed in terms of the partial pressure of dimethyl ether i.e. Rate = k(pCH3OCH3)32. If the pressure is measured in bar and time in minutes, then what are the units of rate and rate constants? |
