At 
the rate of decomposition of a sample of gaseous acetaldehyde initially at a pressure of 363 Torr, was 1.00 Torr s 
when 
had reacted and 0.5 Torr s 
when 
had reacted. The order of the reaction is
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsB
Now we know that
Where 
reactant pressure
order of reaction
Now rate of reaction is 1.00 torr s 
, when reactant pressure is 
torr 
torr,
Similarly rate of reaction is 0.5 torr s 
, when reactant pressure is 
torr 
torr
Therefore, applying equation
