Question
What are the units of the rate constant for (a) a firstorder reaction, (b) a second-order reaction, and (c) a zero-order reaction?
Step 1
The units of rate are moles per second and the units of concentration are moles. Therefore, the units of the rate constant k for a first-order reaction are: \[k = \frac{Rate}{[A]} = \frac{moles/second}{moles} = \frac{1}{second}\] Show more…
