If the rate law for a reaction is Rate = k[A]2[B], what would the units of the rate constant be?
Maitreya E.
The rate law for the reaction 2A + B --> 2C + 3D was found to be: d[C]/dt = k[A][B][C]. What are the units of k? Express the rate law in terms of the rate reaction. What are the units in each case?

What are the appropriate units for the rate constant in the hypothetical rate law: rate = k[A]^2[B][C]? I'm unsure how to get to the answer since second order has M-1s-1 and first order has s-1, so shouldn't that mean the units are M-1s-3?
