What are the units of k in the following rate law?
Rate = k[X][Y]
B) Ms

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The rate law expression shows that the rate is proportional to the concentration of reactants raised to some powers. The units of k can be determined by substituting the units of rate and reactant concentrations in the rate law equation. Therefore, the units of k are (unit of rate) / (unit of reactant concentration)^n, where n is the order of the reactant in the rate law. In this case, the rate has units of M/s (or Ms^-1), and the concentrations have units of M. Therefore, the units of k are Ms^-1.
