Fraction order reaction
Fraction order reaction
The reaction whose order is a fraction is called a fractional order reaction.
Example:
(1) - Thermal decomposition of acetaldehyde
∆
CH³CHO ---> CH⁴ +CO, rate = k[CH³CHO]¹.⁵
(2)- Reaction between H² and Br² to form HBr
H²(g) + Br²(g) --> 2HBr, rate = k[H²] [Br²]¹/²
