Answer

$8.9 \times 10^{-5} s^{-1}$

Work Step by Step

Association rate = $8.9 \times 10^{3} M^{-1} s^{-1}$ Dissociation constant = 10nM = $10 \times 10^{-9}M$ Dissociation rate=? Dissociation constant = Dissociation rate $\div $ Association rate Dissociation rate = Dissociation constant $\times$ Association rate Dissociation rate = $10 \times 10^{-9}M$ $\times$ $8.9 \times 10^{3} M^{-1}s^{-1}$ = $8.9 \times 10^{-5} s^{-1}$
