Units and other forms of the reaction rate coefficient

Units and other forms of the reaction rate coefficient 

The examination of equation [10.22] shows that the units of the reaction rate coefficient k are m. mol. s .  

If we take into accormt equation [10.39], the reaction rate coefficient can also be 

Using equation [10.22], we have defined the reaction rate coefficient of the volumic rate of a bimolecttlar reaction, such as reaction [lO.Rl], as a function of concentration. In some cases with gases, we prefer to define the reaction rate using the partial pressure instead of the concentratiorr, which is described by a new reaction rate coefficient, k in  

If the pressure units are in atmospheres, the reaction rate coefficient is therefore expressed in mol.s. m atm..
