Q. The unit of rate constant for a zero order reaction is
A) L² mol⁻² s⁻¹
B) s⁻¹
C) mol L⁻¹ s⁻¹
D) L mol⁻¹ s⁻¹
Explanation
[Solution from source] For a zero-order reaction rate = k[A]⁰ = k, so k has the units of rate, mol L⁻¹ s⁻¹. s⁻¹ is the first-order unit and L mol⁻¹ s⁻¹ is the second-order unit. Answer (3).
