The unit of rate constant is same as that of rate of reaction in:
Correct answer: B. Zero order reaction
- A. First order reaction
- B. Zero order reaction
- C. Second order reaction
- D. Third order reaction
Explanation
Rate law general form:Rate = k[A]n n = order of reactionk = rate constantUnit of k depends on the order:k = Rate[A]n

About Rate Constant
The rate constant, k, connects reaction rate with reactant concentrations in a rate law and has a value fixed for a particular reaction at a given temperature. Questions involve determining k from rate data, identifying its units for different reaction orders, and applying the Arrhenius equation to temperature changes.
