Question

The rate of loss of reactants is equal to the rate of formation of products in a chemical system.
A rate law for a reaction can be determined by which of the following?

• A. The rate law for most common reactions is found in a reference table.
• B. The rate low is determined based on the balanced equation regardless of the complexity of the reaction.
• C. The rate law must be determined experimentally for each reaction.
• D. The rate law for a reaction is based on the use of a catalyst only, so the type of catalyst determined the rate law.

Answer 1

The correct option is A The rate law for most common reactions is found in a reference table.

The rate law depends on the complexity of reaction. It does not depend on use of catalyst. It can be found in a reference table for most common reactions.
