Question

At 325°C, 1,3-butadiene dimerizes according to the equation: 2C4H6(g) -> C8H12(g). It is found that the partial pressure, P, of the reactant obeys the law: 1/P = kt + 1/P_0. Order of the reaction is

Prashant Kotian · Accepted Answer

Correct answer: C. The given integrated rate law is 1/P = kt + 1/P_0, which can be rewritten as 1/P - 1/P_0 = kt. This is the standard integrated rate equation for a second-order reaction. Thus, the order of the reaction is 2.
