1
Q
rate of reaction
A
the change in concentration of a substance in unit time
2
Q
rate of equation
A
r = k[A]^m[B]^n
r - rate
k - rate constant
A - conc of A
m/n - orders (added together to find the total order)
3
Q
zero order
A
the concentration of A has no effect on the rate of reaction
r = k[A]^0 = k
4
Q
first order
A
the rate of reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of A
r = k[A]^1
5
Q
second order
A
the rate of reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of A squared
r = k[A]^2
6
Q
how to work out overall order of a reaction
A
by adding together all the individual orders
