Problem

For a reaction that is overall second order, what are the units of the rate constant

k

when the rate is expressed in

\text{mol}\,\text{L}^{-1}\,\text{s}^{-1}

and concentrations are expressed in

\text{mol}\,\text{L}^{-1}

? a)

\text{mol}\,\text{L}^{-1}\,\text{s}^{-1}

\text{L}\,\text{mol}^{-1}\,\text{s}^{-1}

\text{s}^{-1}

\text{L}^{2}\,\text{mol}^{-2}\,\text{s}^{-1}
