The forward rate constant for an elementary reversible gaseous reaction is given as
\(\mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{H}_6 \rightleftharpoons 2 \mathrm{CH}_3 \text { is } 1.57 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~s}^{-1} \text { at } 100 \mathrm{~K}\)
What is the rate constant for the backward reaction at this temperature if \(10^{-4}\) moles of \(\mathrm{CH}_3\) and \(10\) moles of \(\mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{H}_6\) are present in a \(10\) litre vessel at equilibrium?
1. \(1.57 \times 10^9 \mathrm{~L} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}\)
2. \(1.57 \times 10^{10} \mathrm{~L} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}\)
3. \(1.57 \times 10^{11} \mathrm{~L} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}\)
4. \(1.57 \times 10^7 \mathrm{~L} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}\)
