Question:

What is the unit of rate constant for a zero order reaction?

Options:

mole L-1 s-1

s-1

mole-1 L s-1

None of these

Correct Answer:

mole L-1 s-1

Explanation:

Unit of rate constant = (mole)1-n (L)n-1 time-1 ,   where n= order of reaction

if n = 0 i.e. for zero order reaction, the unit of rate constant will be (mole)1-0 (L)0-1 s-1 = mole L-1 s-1
