Re: Units
The unit for k in a 0 order reaction is mol/(L*s). In a first order reaction, k is in 1/s. In a second order reaction, k is L/(mol*s).

Re: Units
The units for the rate constant changes depending on the order of reaction, but the rate itself is always in mol/(L*s).

Re: Units [ENDORSED]
As a general formula to calculate the units of the rate constant for any reaction order n, you can use the equation:
units of k = (L/mol)n-1 / s
units of k = (L/mol)n-1 / s
