Question
Rate constant in case of first order reaction is
A.
inversely proportional to the concentration units
B.
independent of concentration units
C.
directly proportional to concentration units
D.
inversely proportional to the square of concentration units
Answer :
independent of concentration units
Solution :
The rate constant of a first order reaction has only time unit. It has no concentration unit. This means the numerical value of $$k$$ for a first order reactions is independent of the unit in which concentration is expressed.
