The decomposition of dimethyl ether leads to the formation of CH₄, H₂and CO and the reaction rate is given by

Rate = k [CH₃OCH₃]^3/2

The rate of reaction is followed by increase in pressure in a closed vessel, so the rate can also be expressed in terms of the partial pressure of dimethyl ether, i.e.,

 Rate = k (P_CH3OCH3)^3/2

If the pressure is measured in bar andtime in minutes, then what are the units of rate and rate constants?
