The growth rate constant k has units of Multiple Choice 1hr

The growth rate constant, k, has units of Multiple Choice 1/hr hr This quantity has no units.

Solution

Ans :- 1/hr

The growth rate constant (k) is defined as the number of generations per unit time.

i.e. k = number of generations of the bacterium / unit time

Therefore, units of k = units of number of generations/ units of time

Since the number of generations is just a number and will have no dimension while time has the units like hr(hour), s(second), min(minute), etc., k = 1/hr or 1/s or 1/min
