For CM6:

Main Reaction:

CM3 + NaOH CM6 + NaCl + H2O

Rate of Reaction = Rate Constant × [Reactants Concentration] A

A is the order of reaction

For elementary reactions rate equation is stoichiometric equivalent of the rate equation. So we
can write in following way:

-rCM6 = K [CM3] 1[NaOH] 1

As 1:1 mole ratio is present in the balance chemical equation.

For elementary reaction order of reaction is the sum of exponents of all reactants. So in our case
order of reaction:

Reaction rate order = 1+1 = 2

For 2nd order of reaction units of K = L / mol.s
