Description

Bug Description

Arkane reports SA coefficients of PDep reactions, yet the units are reported in J/mol. I think it should be mol/J instead.
We should also consider adding these units to the text file output as well.

Additional Context

This line should be modified

Research direction

Start at arkane/sensitivity.py around line 477 and inspect how PDep sensitivity coefficients are formatted. Update the reported units from J/mol to mol/J, then check the text-file output path mentioned in the issue and ensure its units are considered consistently.
