Question

What are the units of k in the following rate law?Rate = k[X][Y]M/s1/Mss/M^2M/sM^2/s

Answer 1

k = 1/Ms

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the rate has to have a value of M/s we can compute the units of k for

rate = k[X][Y]

M/s = k M x M ⇒ M/s = k M² therefore k = 1/Ms to make the units consistent.
