The slope of the straight line obtained by plotting rate versus concentration of reactant for a first order reaction is.

The unit of rate constant for first order reaction is

Statement : The exponents for concentration do not necessarily match the stoichiometry coefficients in the rate law expression.
Statement : In the rate law expression, exponents for concentration are determined by experiments not by balanced chemical reaction.
