Question

What is the order of reaction whose unit of rate of constant and rate of reaction are same?

Answer 1

Now, if you say R and K have same units then 'x' must be zero. x is the overall order of reaction. So the overallorder of the reaction is zero for rateand rate constant to have same units.

Answer 2

If the reaction is zero order, the rate constant has exactly the same units as therate of the reaction mol L-1 s -1. If thereaction is first order, then the concentration of one reactant takes care of the units of concentration, thus the rate constant is simply given in units of reciprocal time, s-1.is
