Question
**Calculating the Rate Constant of a Reaction**

In order to calculate the rate constant (\( k \)) for a reaction, follow the given parameters:

- **Given Parameters:**
  - Concentration of reactant (\([X]\)) = 0.27 M (molarity)
  - Rate of the reaction = 0.0050 M/s (molarity per second)

The task involves calculating the value of \( k \) using the given data.

**Equation to Use:**
The rate law for a reaction of the form \(\text{Rate} = k[X]\) can be rearranged to solve for \( k \):

\[ k = \frac{\text{Rate}}{[X]} \]

Where:
- Rate = 0.0050 M/s
- \([X]\) = 0.27 M

Using these values, you can calculate \( k \):

\[ k = \frac{0.0050 \, \text{M/s}}{0.27 \, \text{M}} \]

Make sure to plug in the values correctly and perform the arithmetic to find the value of \( k \).

**Graphical Section:**
There is also a space provided for entering the rate constant value ( \( k \)) and its units. Here is a detailed view of the provided space:

- **Entry Box for \( k \):**
  - A box labeled 'k =' where you should enter the calculated value of the rate constant.

- **Units:**
  - A field to enter the units of \( k \) which is \( \text{M}^{-1} \text{s}^{-1} \).

Additionally, there is an input tool labeled 'TOOLS' right beneath the rate constant entry box that helps to input scientific values, providing the notation \( \times 10^x \) for easier data entry representation for any scientific calculations.

Follow the steps and perform the required calculations to determine the rate constant accurately.
