(N/A) Given Rate $= k[H_2O_2][I^{-}]$
The order of reaction is the sum of the powers of the concentration terms in the rate law expression.
Order $= 1 + 1 = 2$
Dimension of $k = \frac{\text{Rate}}{[H_2O_2][I^{-}]}$
$= \frac{\text{mol L}^{-1} \text{s}^{-1}}{(\text{mol L}^{-1})(\text{mol L}^{-1})}$
$= \text{L mol}^{-1} \text{s}^{-1}$

For the reaction system $2NO_{(g)} + O_{2(g)} \to 2NO_{2(g)}$,the volume is suddenly reduced to half its initial value by increasing the pressure. If the reaction is of first order with respect to $O_2$ and second order with respect to $NO$,the rate of reaction will:

For the reaction,$PCl_5 \longrightarrow PCl_3 + Cl_2$,the rate and rate constant are $1.02 \times 10^{-4} \ mol \ L^{-1} \ s^{-1}$ and $3.4 \times 10^{-5} \ s^{-1}$ respectively at a given instant. The molar concentration of $PCl_5$ at that instant is

The reaction $A_{(g)} + 2B_{(g)} \longrightarrow C_{(g)} + D_{(g)}$ is an elementary process. In an experiment,the initial partial pressure of $A$ and $B$ are $0.6 \ atm$ and $0.8 \ atm$,respectively. When partial pressure of $C$ is $0.2 \ atm$,the rate of reaction relative to the initial rate is
