FAQ

What is the Rate Constant?
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. 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.
Can the Rate Constant be negative?
Yes, the Rate Constant, measured in First Order Reaction Rate Constant can be negative.
What unit is used to measure Rate Constant?
Rate Constant is usually measured using the 1 Per Second[s⁻¹] for First Order Reaction Rate Constant. 1 Per Millisecond[s⁻¹], 1 Per Day[s⁻¹], 1 Per Hour[s⁻¹] are the few other units in which Rate Constant can be measured.
