Read the Passage carefully and answer the Questions
Kinetic studies not only help us to determine the rate of a chemical reaction but also describe the conditions by which the reaction rates can be altered. The factors such as concentration, temperature, pressure and catalyst affect the rate of a reaction.
The speed of a reaction or the rate of a reaction can be defined as the change in concentration of a reactant or product in unit time.
Rate \(=k[A]^x[B]^y\)
Here \(k\) is the rate constant
\(x+y\) gives the overall order of a reaction, whereas \(x\) and \(y\) represent the order with respect to the reactants \(A\) and \(B\), respectively.
The unit of rate constant for first order reaction is

  1. A \(mol L ^{-1} s^{-1}\)
  2. B \(mol L s ^{-1}\)
  3. C \(L ^{-1} s^{-1}\)\(mol L s ^{-1}\)
  4. D \(s ^{-1}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(s ^{-1}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(Rate = k[A]^1\) \(mol L^{-1} s^{-1} = k (mol L^{-1})\) \(k = s^{-1}\)
