4.1 exercise 1 - orders of reaction 1. Explain what is meant by the term "rate of reaction". 2.

The initial rates of the reaction 2A + B 2C + D at vario s concentrations of A an! B are "iven below# $A% mol!m&' *.*1 *.*2 *.*1 $B% mol!m&' *.2* *.2* *.+* (nitial rate )mol!m&'s&1 *.1* *.2* *.+*

a, -hat is the or!er of reaction with respect to A an! B. b, -hat is the overall or!er of reaction. c, -hat is the rate constant. !, -hat will be the rate of the reaction if the concentrations of A an! B are both *.*1 mol!m&'.

-hat is the rate constant for the reaction. -hat can yo !e! ce abo t the rate&!eterminin" step of the reaction.
