A2 Equilibrium constant "units" question

AQA A2 unit 4. Jan' 06

q3 a) ii) The equilibrium constant Kc, for a homogenous equil reaction is given as:
Kc= [A]^2
[C][D]^3


Deduce units of Kc. Does anyone else agree with me that the units are

mol^-1dm^3 because there is 1 less mole on the top

The mark scheme says the answer is mol dm^-3

But i cant understand how that is the answer, if its correct, can someone please explain to me why?? thanks!

Yup, must be a print error in the mark scheme? The units for that are definitely mol-1 dm3.

Unless I've worked it out wrong too. >.<
I think (hope) we are right! thanks!
