For a second-order reaction, what is the unit of the rate of the reaction?(a) s^-1(b) mol L^-1s^-1(c) mol^-1 L s^-1(d) mol^-2 L^2 s^-1I got this question during an interview.My question is taken from Rate of a Chemical Reaction topic in portion Chemical Kinetics of Chemistry – Class 12

Answer»

Right choice is (C) mol^-1 L s^-1

To ELABORATE: The UNIT of the rate of the reaction (K) is (mol L^-1) ^1-N s^-1, where n is the order of the reaction.

For a second-order reaction, n=2

(mol L^-1) ^1-n s^-1 = (mol L^-1)^1-2 s^-1 = mol^-1 L s^-1.
