Re: units
a rate is denoted as a change in concentration over units of time. so M/s or mol/L^-1 x s^-1 would be the proper units

The units for the rate are always going to be moles per liter per second, but the units for the rate constant k will change according to the overall order. k changes so that the proper units cancel so that the rate stays at moles per liter per second.

Re: units
for the rate, it is usually M/s, but the rate constant's units depend on which order it is.
