Question 1

What is the main purpose of the rate constant (k)?

  • To calculate energy
  • To link reaction rate to concentrations
  • To determine the temperature
  • To find the pressure

💡 Hint: Think about its role in the rate expression.

Question 2

True or False: The unit for the rate constant is always mol/dm³/s.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider how different orders might yield different units.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

For the reaction 2A + B → Products, we have rates data showing: 1. [A] = 0.1 M, [B] = 0.1 M, Rate = 1.0×10^-3 M/s; 2. [A] = 0.2 M, [B] = 0.1 M, Rate = 2.0×10^-3 M/s. Determine the rate constant k if it's first order with respect to A and second with respect to B.

💡 Hint: Break it down step-wise, and remember to substitute values carefully based on the data.

Question 2

Discuss how changing the concentration of product B would affect the overall reaction rate for a zero-order reaction.

💡 Hint: Reflect on the definition of zero-order reactions.
