Question

Select the false statement below.

& please explain!!!

The rate law of a reaction is determined by measuring initial instantaneous rates and therefore is not affected by product concentration.

A. The rate law of a reaction can not be confidently determined by the stoichiometry of the reaction unless the reaction is an elementary reaction/step. B.

The rate law of a reaction is determined by measuring initial instantaneous rates and therefore is not affected by product concentration.

C. The rate law of a reaction contains orders with respect to the individual reactants, and the product of the individual reactant orders yields the overall order of the reaction. D. The rate law of a reaction includes a rate constant k which is specific for that particular reaction at a particular temperature.

Explanation / Answer

False -

The rate law of a reaction contains orders with respect to the individual reactants, and the product of the individual reactant orders yields the overall order of the reaction.

Reason - Overall order of reaction is obtained by ADDITION of the individual reactant order. Not by product.

C.
