Question
A solution of $Ni(NO_3)_2$ is electrolysed between platinum electrodes using a current of $5$ amperes for $20$ minutes. What mass of $Ni$ is deposited at the cathode?
✓

Answer

Given,
Current $= 5A$
Time $= 20 \times 60 = 1200 s$
Therefore, Charge $=$ current $\times $ time
$= 5 \times 1200$
$= 6000 C$
According to the reaction,
$\text{Ni}^{2+}_\text{(aq)}+2\text{e}^-\rightarrow\text{Ni}_\text{(s)}\\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 58.7\text{g}$
Nickel deposited by $2 \times 96487\ C = 58.71g$
Therefore, nickel deposited by $6000\ C =\frac{58.71\times6000}{2\times96487}\text{g}$
$= 1.825g$
Hence, $1.825g$ of nickel will be deposited at the cathode.

The decomposition of dimethyl ether leads to the formation of CH4, H2 and CO and the reaction rate is given by 
Rate $= k \left[ CH _3 OCH _3\right]^{3 / 2}$ 
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 $= k \left( p _{ CH _3 OCH _3}\right)^{3 / 2}$
If the pressure is measured in bar and time in minutes, then what are the units of rate and rate constants?
