Question:
Unit of rate constant ‘k’ for a second order reaction is:
Unit of rate constant ‘k’ for a second order reaction is:
Show Hint
Always derive rate constant units by balancing rate law dimensions.
Updated On: Jul 3, 2025
- s$^{-1}$
- mol L$^{-1}$ s$^{-1}$
- mol$^{-1}$ L s$^{-1}$
- mol$^{-2}$ L s$^{-1}$
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
For a second order reaction, unit of ‘k’ is derived from the rate law: Rate = k[A]$^2$. Therefore, unit is (mol L$^{-1}$ s$^{-1}$)/(mol$^2$ L$^{-2}$) = mol$^{-1}$ L s$^{-1}$.
