What is difference between rate constant and rate of reaction ?

Answer»
Rate constant of a reaction Rate of a reaction 
(i) It is constant proportionality in the rate law expression. (i) It is the speed of which the reactants are converted into products at any moment of time. 
(ii) It is constant and does not depend on the progress of the reaction. (ii) It decreases with the progress of reaction generally. 
(iii) It refers to the rate of the reaction at the specific point when concentration of every reacting is unity. (iii) It depends upon the concentration of reactant species at that moment of time.
(iv) It has different units for different reactions. (iv) It has same units for all reactions/mole sec
