Order of a homogenous elementary reaction is the number of reacting molecules.

For A + B → C, order will be 2

Unit of Rate constant  \mathrm{K}=[\mathrm{conc} \text {. }]^{1-\text { order }} \mathrm{s}^{-1}
\Rightarrow \text { Unit of Rate constant } \mathrm{K}=\left[\mathrm{mol} \mathrm{L}^{-1} \right]^{-1} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}
\Rightarrow \text { Unit of Rate constant } \mathrm{K}=\mathrm{mol}^{-1} \mathrm{~L}^1 \mathrm{~s}^{-1}.
