Hello Atish,

Yes, the default units for activation energy is cal/mol and I would say mol-cm-s-K is correct fo preexponential factor. Here is more information from the developer:

"The chemkin data units are restricted as described next:

1. CGS is required
2. The rate constants are expressed in cm^3/mol.s for bimolecular reactions and in s^(-1) for unimolecular reactions.
3. The energy unit is erg for internal energies, enthalpies, entropies, free energies, and heat capacities.
4. For activation energies, the default unit is cal/mol;  however, the user can choose another unit for the activation energies by including a supplementary key word as JOULE/MOLE after the key work REACTION to switch to use J/mol as the unit for activation energies."
