Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Design an experiment to analyze a bimolecular reaction and predict how changing the concentration of one reactant affects the rate.
💡 Hint: Consider using the rate expression to analyze your results.
A chemical reaction follows the path A → B → C. If step A → B is the rate-determining step, how would you express the overall rate law?
💡 Hint: Reflect on the principles of rate laws relating to the slowest step in a mechanism.
