kinetics Flashcards
1
Q
how to tell from the rate equation if a reaction has more than one step
A
numbers of chemicals in the reaction equation don’t match the rate equation
2
Q
how is initial rate of reaction calculated from a concentration-time graph
A
find gradient of the tangent at t = 0
3
Q
why would a reaction have order zero for one of its reactants
A
reactant is not involved in rate determining step (also means there is more than one step)
