The unit of frequency factor in Arrhenius equation is_______________?

Correct answer: A. Same as that of rate constant

  • A. Same as that of rate constant
  • B. Same as that of activation energy
  • C. Dimensionless
  • D. None of these

Explanation

In k = A exp(-E/RT), the exponential is dimensionless, so A must carry the same units as k. Those units depend on the reaction order, such as s⁻¹ for a first-order reaction.
