orders, rate equations and rate constants

Cards (6)

  • if you double a reactants concentration and the rate stays the same, the order with respect to the reactant is 0
  • if you double a reactants concentration and the rate doubles the order with respect to the reactant is 1
  • if you double a reactants concentration and the rate quadruples the order with respect to the reactant is 2
  • rate = k [A]m [B]n
  • if a reactant is 0 order it doesn't go in the equation as it has no impact
  • k= rate constant
