Question

For a zero-order reaction, the rate constant k has units:
  1. A
    mol L⁻¹ s⁻¹
    Correct
  2. B
    s⁻¹
  3. C
    L mol⁻¹ s⁻¹
  4. D
    L² mol⁻² s⁻¹

Correct answer

mol L⁻¹ s⁻¹

Explanation

Zero order: r = k. Units of r = mol L⁻¹ s⁻¹ = units of k. For first order: k in s⁻¹; for second order: k in L mol⁻¹ s⁻¹.
