Question
Select the false statement below.
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 includes a rate constant k which is specific for that particular reaction at a particular temperature. B. 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. 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 is determined by measuring initial instantaneous rates and therefore is not affected by product concentration.
Explanation / Answer
A) is mainly true
B) Thats true, many times it is impossible
C) this is false, in general, the law is only dependent of reactants. Besides, the order of a reaction is given by the addition of the overall order, not the product!
D) this is true for every instantaneous rate
