In my textbook there is an example with the following reaction and rate:
C6H6 + 3H2 -> C6H12
Rf = kf[C6H6][H2]
Then the the example claims that the ratio of the rate constants is:
kf / kr = [C6H12] / ( [H2]3 [C6H6] )
How is the denominator of that ratio possible if the forward rate is 2nd order?
I tried using latex for the fractions but the subscripts and superscripts were not working correctly in the fractions.
