Re: Rate law constant
i don't think the number itself can be a negative number, but k will be negative when it is the slope of a zero order or first order reaction.

Re: Rate law constant
The rate law constant can never be negative, but it can be a slope of negative k on the graphs of zero order and first order reactions.

Re: Rate law constant
Since rates are always positive values, the rate constant k is always positive.
