rate Flashcards
1
Q
what does a zero order reaction describe
A
where changing the concentration does not affect the rate
2
Q
what does a first order reaction descrive
A
the rate and change in concentration are directly proportional
3
Q
what does a second order reaction describe
A
the rate is proportional to X^2
4
Q
what is the rate determining step
