The rate of a reaction is typically expressed as the change in concentration of a reactant or product per unit time. Common units for the rate of a reaction include molarity (mol/L) over time (s), which can be simplified to:

  • M/s (moles per liter per second).

From the options given, the most relevant unit for expressing a rate of reaction is not directly listed. However, if we consider the context of reaction rates, the closest option that relates to measuring the rate of a reaction in practical scenarios is:

D. mL / mol

This could be associated with volume and the amount of substance, but it isn't a typical expression for reaction rates as you might find in kinetics.

If we strictly talk about the rate, we usually refer to it in terms of concentration change over time. In the absence of a specific "correct" option, "D" can be closely associated.

However, it is important to clarify that none of the options provide a standard form for the rate of reaction in the strictest sense.
