Question

The equation that describes mathematically the dependence of the rate of reaction on the concentration terms of reactants is _____or______.

• A. rate equation
• B. rate law

Answer 1

1. The equation that expresses the mathematical dependency of the rate of reaction on concentration terms of reactants is known as the rate equation or rate law.
2. For the response, $2\mathrm{NO}\left(g\right)+{\mathrm{O}}_2\left(g\right)\rightleftharpoons 2{\mathrm{NO}}_2\left(g\right)$

Rate $=k[NO{]}^2\left[O_2\right]$

3. Hence, the equation that describes mathematically the dependence of the rate of reaction on the concentration terms of reactants is rate equation or rate law.
