Units of time

[Leonardo Le Merle 1D]

Is rate always expressed with seconds as the measurement of time? Or could a rate law be expressed in M/hr?

[Brianna Becerra 1B]

Something I have noticed is that in some problems, they will give you a number to be plugged in which may already have a unit of time to it. If this is so, then this dictates what unit of time will be the outcome, or you could convert the number given to match a desired one.

I'd imagine you could use other units of time. Personally, I would stay uniform to the units used in the problem or whatever's specified.

It is possible to use units of time that are not seconds. I think we use second in general as a benchmark.

[Tanmay Singhal 1H]

through dimensional analysis you can use any units you would like

[Daniela Shatzki 2E]

I think you can use hours, it just depends on what the question is asking for.
