1
Q
What is the definition of the rate equation
A
Change in concentration of a reactant/product with respect to time
2
Q
What is the definition of the order of reaction with respect to reactant
A
Power to which the concentration of reactant is raised in the rate equation
3
Q
What is the definition of the order of reaction (overall)
A
Sum of powers to which the concentration terms are raised in the rate equation
4
Q
What is the definition of the rate constant
A
The proportionality constant which links the rate of the reaction to the concentrations in the rate equation
