Rate Laws

Subject: Chemistry

Book: General Chemistry

A rate law expresses how the rate depends on reactant concentrations and is typically determined experimentally. A general form is Rate = k [A]^m [B]^n, where k is the rate constant and m, n are reaction orders. These orders need not match stoichiometric coefficients. Understanding rate laws helps predict how changing concentration or temperature will affect reaction speed, informing safer and more efficient industrial processes.
