B=bulkiness (volume)
reation rates are the change in ___ over ___
change in conc. over time
the orders in the rate law must be determined ___ and cannot be determined from the stoichiometric coefficients
experimentally
rate law equation
Rate=K[A]^m[B]^n
a number to the power of 0 is equal to
1
It is important to calculate the rate law and the rate constant of the reaction so make sure to be able to do this
What does the rate constant tell you? What will a higher reactant mean?
roughly how fast the rxn goes. A higher rate constant means a faster reaction
For zero order reactions, the plot is ___
linear
