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

Answer:

k = 1/Ms

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.
