MCQs On Law Of Mass Action

Another peculiarity of the theoretical progress was that at first the law of mass action was known as the kinetic law of mass action. Furthermore, chemists were eager to identify a parameter that would clarify the compounds’ ability to react and shape the necessary products. The reaction levels seemed to have such a parameter but it wasn’t that easy. The history of chemical discoveries which led to the formulation of the law of mass action is very important to understand the contemporary meaning of this rule. The empirically grounded principle that the frequencies of chemical reactions are proportional to the number of the active masses of reactants and is the kinetic law of mass action leads to the dynamic interpretation of chemical equilibrium, and hence to the law of mass action on equilibrium.

1. Which of the following is not correct?

1. the rate law is an experimental fact, but the law of mass action is theoretical
2. the rate law is always different from the expression of the law of mass action
