Q1
The rate law for a reaction is determined experimentally. Which of the following is true?
  1. It can be derived from stoichiometry
  2. It is always first-order
  3. It depends on the mechanism
  4. It is independent of temperature

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

The rate law for a reaction is determined experimentally. Which of the following is true?
  • Step 1: Understand what a rate law is. It describes how the rate of a reaction depends on the concentration of reactants.
  • Step 2: Know that the rate law is determined through experiments, not just by looking at the balanced chemical equation.
  • Step 3: Realize that the rate law can vary based on the specific steps (mechanism) that the reaction goes through.
  • Step 4: Conclude that the rate law reflects the actual process of how reactants turn into products, which is influenced by the reaction mechanism.
