The rate of formation of a dimer in a second order dimerisation reaction is `9.1 xx 10^(-6) mol L^(-1)s^(1)` at 0.01 mol `L^(-1)` monomer concentration. Calculate the rate consant for the reaction.

Explanation

To calculate the rate constant for the second order dimerization reaction, we will use the following steps:

### Step 1: Write the rate law expression for a second order reaction
For a second order reaction where two molecules of a monomer (A) dimerize to form a dimer (B), the rate law can be expressed as:
\[ \text{Rate} = k[A]^2 \]
where:
- \( k \) is the rate constant,
- \( [A] \) is the concentration of the monomer.
