Questions and Answers

What is the relationship between the orders of reaction of individual reactants and the overall reaction order?

  • The overall reaction order is the average of the individual orders.
  • The overall reaction order is calculated by adding the individual orders. (correct)
  • They are equal to each other.
  • The overall reaction order is the highest of the individual orders.
  • What is the primary purpose of differential rate laws?

  • To predict the reaction rate at a specific temperature.
  • To determine the rate constant of a reaction.
  • To describe the overall mechanism of a reaction. (correct)
  • To calculate the concentration of reactants at equilibrium.
  • What is the primary difference between differential and integrated rate laws?

  • Differential rate laws express the reaction rate as a function of time, while integrated rate laws express the reaction rate as a function of concentration.
  • Differential rate laws describe the reaction rate, while integrated rate laws describe the reaction mechanism.
  • Differential rate laws describe the reaction mechanism, while integrated rate laws describe the reaction rate.
  • Differential rate laws express the reaction rate as a function of concentration, while integrated rate laws express the reaction rate as a function of time. (correct)
