Order of reactions

What must this data be to figure out order of reactions?

Experimental data

What is rate equation / rate law? What do the letters mean?

ROR = K [a]^m [b]ⁿ [c]^o
K = rate constant
[a] = molar conc. of a
m = order of reaction with respect to A

What is overall order?

Order of each reactant added up

What happens if the order is 0 with respect to A

Rate unaffected by changes in conc. so taken out of rate equation

What happens if the order is 1 with respect to B

Rate doubles when doubling conc. of B

What happens if the order is 3 with respect to C

Rate is quadrupled by doubling conc. of C

What does a large K value show?

Fast ROR

What does a small K value show?

Slow ROR
