The SI/CGS-style units of the rate of a chemical reaction are:

L mol⁻¹ s⁻¹
mol dm⁻³ s⁻¹
mol L⁻¹
s⁻¹

Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. mol dm⁻³ s⁻¹

Rate = change in concentration / change in time, hence units are concentration/time = mol dm⁻³ s⁻¹ (or mol L⁻¹ s⁻¹).

For the reaction A → B, the rate of reaction can be written as:

$-d[A]/dt$ only
$+d[B]/dt$ only
$+d[A]/dt = -d[B]/dt$
$-d[A]/dt = +d[B]/dt$

Show answer and solution

Correct answer: D. $-d[A]/dt = +d[B]/dt$

A is consumed → rate $= -d[A]/dt$ (negative because [A] decreases). B is formed → rate $= +d[B]/dt$. By stoichiometry (1:1), both are equal.
