The unit of the rate constant is the same as that of the rate of reaction in:
Correct answer: A. Zero order reaction
- A. Zero order reaction
- B. First order reaction
- C. Second order reaction
- D. Third order reaction
Explanation
For a zero-order reaction, the rate equation is:Rate = K [A]0Where K is the rate constant and A is the reactantSince [A]0 is equal to 1.Rate = K and hence both will have the same units.

About Reaction Kinetics
Reaction kinetics relates reaction rate to concentration, temperature, surface area and catalysts. Questions cover rate laws, reaction order, rate constants, activation energy and the activated complex, including how a catalyst lowers the activation energy without changing the overall energy change or equilibrium position.
