Answer to Question #192822 in General Chemistry for Jennifer

Question

What are the different kinds of rate equations? How do these rate equations differ from one another? How do you solve for these rate equations?

Answer 1

Ans:-

Rate equation will be of different different kinds. Rate equation may be of zero order, first order, second order, pseudo order or $n^{th}$ order . These rate equations are different from each other because power raised on concentration of reactant will be different to order by order.

Reaction rate is calculated using the formula rate $= \dfrac{Δ[C]}{Δt},$ where $Δ[C]$ is the change in product concentration during time period $Δt$ . The rate of reaction can be observed by watching the disappearance of a reactant or the appearance of a product over time.
