2.2.6 and 2.2.7 rate equation and intermediates

what are the units for rate of reaction

mol dm-3 s-1

how are rate equations determined

experimentally

write an example rate equation using A and B

what are [A] and [B]

concentrations of the reactants

what are m and n

orders with respect to the each reactant involved in the reaction

what also may feature in the rate equation

catalysts

do intermediates feature in rate equations

no

what is the order of a reaction

how the concentratin of a reactant affects the rate of reaction

what does it mean if 0 order

changing the concentration of the chemical has no effect on rate of reaction

are 0 orders inlcluded in rate equation

no

what is the relationship between the conc of the chemical and the rate of reaction in a first order reaction

directly proportional

what about for second order?

the rate is directly proportional to the square of the concentration of that chemical

what is the overall order of the reaction

the sum of the powers in a rate equation
