13.2 Rate Law Flashcards
1
Q
Explain what is meant by the rate law of a reaction
A
The rate law expresses the relationship of the rate of a reaction to the rate constant and the concentrations of the reactants raised to some power
Rate=k[A]^x[B]^y
2
Q
What are the units for the rate constants of zero-order, first-order, and second-order reactions?
A
0 order: M/s
1st order: M^2/s
2nd order: M^3/s
3
Q
On which of the following properties does the rate constant of a reaction depend?
A.) reactant concentrations
B.) nature of reactants
C.) temperature
A
Reactant concentrations because The M can change the rate of reaction and determine what kind of order (0, 1st, 2nd) the reaction will be
