The usual units for the rate of a reaction are:

Answer: mol L⁻¹ s⁻¹.

  • A mol per litre
  • B mol L⁻¹ s⁻¹
  • C per second
  • D L per mol

Correct answer: B. mol L⁻¹ s⁻¹

Explanation: Rate is a change of concentration with time, so its units are mol L⁻¹ s⁻¹.

First-Order Decay: Constant Half-Lifetime[A][A]₀[A]₀/22 × t½[A]₀/4Each successive half-life takes the SAME amount of time, regardless of starting concentration

First-order decay curve: concentration halves every t½, and that half-life is constant - a defining test for first-order kinetics.

Concept context

Study the speed of reactions and what affects it: concentration, temperature, and catalysts. Covers rate law, order of reaction, the Arrhenius equation, and reaction mechanisms step by step.
