Question 1

What does the exponent 'm' in the rate law signify?

  • It represents the rate constant
  • It indicates the order of reaction with respect to A
  • It indicates the concentration of reactant

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about it relating to the concentration and rate relationship.

Question 2

True or False: The orders of reaction are always equal to the coefficients in the balanced chemical equation.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider how you derive order from data.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a reaction where the rate quadruples when [A] is doubled, determine the order of the reaction with respect to A and explain your reasoning.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Compare rate changes to concentration changes.

Question 2

If a runs an experiment with concentrations of [A] = 0.1 M and [B] = 0.1 M yielding a rate of 5 x 10^-3 M/s, how would changes to [B] affect the overall rate if it’s second-order?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Use the known order to correlate changes.
