7A.7 Units of Rate Constants

Postby Ariel Fern 2B » Sun Mar 08, 2020 10:31 pm

How do you conceptually determine the units of the rate constants of different orders of reactions, as asked in 7A.7? Is there any equation that you guys use to base this off of? Thanks for any help!

The units of rate constants are based off the general rate laws for each order.
For example, zero order: rate = k*(A0)^0

Organic Chem tutor used k=M^(1-n).s^-1.
