Identify the order of reaction if its rate constant is \(k = 2 × 10^{-2}s^{-1}\)
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is option 2. First order.
The given rate of reaction is \(k = 2 × 10^{-2}s^{-1}\).
The unit of rate constant is \(s^{-1}\).
We know from the unit of rate constant that the reaction belongs to a first order reaction.
