Question
For which order of a chemical reaction are the mathematical units of the specific rate constant ($k$) exactly the same as the units of the overall reaction rate?
Answer: C
💡 Solution & Explanation
The unit of reaction rate is always $\text{mol L}^{-1}\text{s}^{-1}$. The unit of $k$ is $(\text{mol L}^{-1})^{1-n}\text{s}^{-1}$. When $n=0$ (Zero Order), the unit of $k$ perfectly matches the unit of rate.
