Rate Constant in Chemical Kinetics Formulas

Rate Constant or Reaction Rate Coefficient ’k’ quantifies the rate and direction of a chemical reaction. It has different units for different orders of chemical reactions. And is denoted by k. Rate Constant is usually measured using the 1 Per Second for First Order Reaction Rate Constant. Note that the value of Rate Constant is always negative.
