MCQ
The dimension of rate constant of a second order reaction involves
  • A
    Neither time nor concentration
  • B
    Only time
  • Time and concentration
  • D
    Time and square of concentration

Answer

Correct option: C.
Time and concentration
c
Let us consider a second order reaction: $A \rightarrow B$

Rate Law for this Reaction is given by : Rate $= k [ A ]^2$

$\because$ Unit of Rate of Reaction is $mol \,litre { }^{-1} \,\sec ^{-1}$ and Unit of Concentration is $mol\, litre ^{-1}$

$\therefore$ Unit of Rate constant is $mol ^{-1}\, litre\,sec ^{-1}$

$\Rightarrow$ Unit of Rate constant is $\left( mol \text { litre }^{-1}\right)^{-1}\, sec ^{-1}$

Unit of Rate constant is $(concentration) { }^{-1} \,\sec ^{-1}$
