I found several pre-exponential factors for the reaction rate of calcium carbonate crystallization. They are usually given in m^4 kg^-1 s^-1. Is there any change I can convert them to m^4 mol^-1 s^-1. Can I simply use the molar mass of calcium carbonate?

Dear Maximilian Waack,
you are right: the molar mass is the key.
For CaCO3 you have:
1mol ~ 100,09g = 0,10009kg.
Dividing this equation by mol and kg you will get:
1/kg ~0,10009/mol.
Now you are able to replace your kg^-1 in the above unit by 0,10009mol^-1;
best regards
