Q.
For a reaction A+2B→ Products, when concentration of B alone is increased half life remains the same. If concentration of A alone is doubled, rate remains the same. The unit of rate constant for the reaction is
For first-order reaction, half-life t1/2=k0.693
Since half-life does not depend on the concentration of reactants.
According to the given data, the order of reaction with respect to B is one, hence, does not change half-life.
Similarly, an order of reaction with respect to A is also one since the rate increase twice on doubling the concentration.
Hence, total order =1+1=2
Second order reaction and its unit is Lmol−1s−1.
