4.13 The decomposition of dimethyl ether leads to the formation of CH4 , H2 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., Rate= k(PCH3OCH3)3/2 If the pressure is measured in bar and time in minutes, then what are the units of rate and rate constants?

4.13 Rate of given chemical reaction will be represented as
-d [pCH3OCH3] / dt
Hence units of rate is bar min-1
To find units of K, K = rate/ [pCH3OCH3]3/2
The unit of k = bar -1/2min-1.
Units of Rate- bar min-1. and Units of Rate constant K : bar -1/2min -1

Reaction rate is used to measure how fast or slow reactions occur per unit time. The rate constant is a proportionality factor that remains constant for every reaction.
Yes, in elementary reactions, order and molecularity can be the same, but this is not always the case because order is an experimental quantity, and molecularity is a theoretical concept.
Reaction Kinetics, also known as chemical kinetics, is the study of the rate of chemical reaction and the factors affecting the reaction rate, such as temperature, concentration, and catalyst.
