Click to expand... Rate is always M/s. So if we have rate = k sqrt(Cl2) x HCCl3 M/s = k sqrt(M) * M M/(s*M*sqrt(M)) = k k = 1/(s*sqrt(M)) Upvote 0 Downvote

That works. Also though, you're considering the rate of formation of a product.. so you want to figure out how much product (M) is produced per second (s) so M/s. Upvote 0 Downvote
