Re: Reaction Order
The final output should have the units M/s. So if you have higher than a 1st order reaction, you'll have extra M multiplied together => the k will have multiple 1/M to cancel everything out.

Re: Reaction Order
Given reaction A --> B (concentrations are in mol.L-1 and time is in s)
If this reaction is a zero order reaction, the units for its rate constants should be (mol A).L-1.s-1
If this reaction is a first order reaction, the units for its rate constants should be s-1
If this reaction is a second order reaction, the units for its rate constants should be L.(mol A)-1.s-1
Hope this helps!

Re: Reaction Order
A general formula can be M^(1-p)*s^-1, where p is the overall order of the reaction.
Re: Reaction Order
For a zero order rate the units are mol/L*s
For a 1st order rate the units are 1/s
For a 2nd order rate the units are L/mol*s
For a 1st order rate the units are 1/s
For a 2nd order rate the units are L/mol*s
