The correct answer is: Unit of rate constant k for a first order reaction is M s-1

Rate of disappearance of reaction of reactants is equal to the dRdt.

Concentration has the unit M. Time has the unit of second.

Hence, unit of rate of disappearance is M s-1.

Rate of reaction is equal to the concentration per unit time. So, the unit of rate of reaction is M s-1.

The unit of rate constant k depends upon order of reaction. Each order of reaction has the different unit of rate constant.

The unit of rate constant k for a first order reaction is s-1.

Hence, the incorrect statement is the unit of rate constant k for a first order reaction is M s-1.
