First order

Vedclass · Answer

(B) The general unit of the rate constant for an $n^{	ext{th}}$ order reaction is given by the formula: $	ext{mol}^{1-n} \ 	ext{L}^{n-1} \ 	ext{s}^{-1}$.Given that the unit of the rate constant is $	ext{time}^{-1}$,which is equivalent to $	ext{mol}^{0} \ 	ext{L}^{0} \ 	ext{s}^{-1}$.Comparing the exponents of the units:For $	ext{mol}$: $1 - n = 0 \implies n = 1$.For $	ext{L}$: $n - 1 = 0 \implies n = 1$.Therefore,the reaction is of the first order.

For which order reaction,the unit of rate constant is $\text{time}^{-1}$?
