If the rate law for a reaction is Rate = k[A]2[B], what would the units of the rate constant be?
Added by Todd S.
Step 1
The concentrations of the reactants, [A] and [B], are measured in M (molarity). In the rate law, the rate constant k must have units that make the equation dimensionally consistent. That is, the units on both sides of the equation must be the same. Given that Show more…
