Determining the Form of a Rate Law (14.1.3)

Question 1

• The orders of the reactants in the rate law do not necessarily relate to the stoichiometric coefficients in the balanced equation.

Answer 1

• The orders of the reactants in the rate law do not necessarily relate to the stoichiometric coefficients in the balanced equation.

Question 2

• The orders of the reactants in the rate law can be found by converting initial rates of reaction into ratios.

Answer 2

• The orders of the reactants in the rate law can be found by converting initial rates of reaction into ratios.

Question 3

• The value of the rate constant (k) can be calculated once the orders of the reactants are known.

Answer 3

• The value of the rate constant (k) can be calculated once the orders of the reactants are known.
