Chapter 15 -- Units for Rate Constants
Since reaction rates depend on the concentration of
reactants/products in different ways the units of the rate constant
depend on the rate law. Use dimensional analysis to find the
appropriate units.
Examples
Give the units for the rate constants for each of the following rate
laws:
rate=k[A][B]3 Answer
rate=k[A]2/[B] Answer
rate=k[A][B]1/2 Answer
