Chapter 5.1
Reaction Rates and the Rate Law
Double the amount of one reactant and a reaction may go twice as fast, four times as fast, or not change at all. The exponent is a fact about the reaction, and only an experiment can reveal it.

By the end
- 01Define reaction rate and relate the rates of different species through the balanced equation
- 02Explain how concentration, temperature, surface area, and a catalyst change rate
- 03Find the order in each reactant from initial-rate data
- 04Write the rate law with a rate constant whose units match the overall order
