Lesson 7c— Measuring Rate Constants

(T/F) The initial rates analysis can be performed with a single trial.

False

In an initial rates analysis one subtracts the rate laws for two different trials to determine the rate order.

False

To test for first-order kinetics using the graph analysis approach, one must plot 1/[A] versus time and test the data points for how well they describe a linear function.

False

In the graph analysis method, the y-intercept of the linear plots of data is related to the initial concentration [A]0 .

True

The rate constant can only be determined after the order of the reaction rate is known.

True

When the half-life graphical analysis method can be utilized, it provides information that can identify both the rate order and the rate constant.
