The rate of the reaction $CCl_3CHO + NO \to CHCl_3 + NO + CO$ is given by $Rate = K [CCl_3CHO] [NO]$. If concentration is expressed in $mol \ L^{-1}$,the units of $K$ are:

The rate of reaction is determined by the slow step of the reaction. This step is called:

For the reaction,$2N_2O_5 \to 4NO_2 + O_2$,the rate equation can be expressed in two ways $-\frac{d[N_2O_5]}{dt} = k[N_2O_5]$ and $+\frac{d[NO_2]}{dt} = k'[N_2O_5]$. $k$ and $k'$ are related as:
