Thedecomposition of dimethyl ether leads to the formation of CH4,H2and CO and the reaction rate is given byRate= k[CH3OCH3]3/2Therate of reaction is followed by increase in pressure in a closedvessel, so the rate can also be expressed in terms of the partialpressure of dimethyl ether, i.e.,Ifthe pressure is measured in bar andtime inminutes, then what are the units of rate and rate constants?

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
[CH3OCH3]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.,



If
the pressure is measured in bar and
time in
minutes, then what are the units of rate and rate constants?
