Power in rate law is determined
Chemistry
ScanSolve AI Answer
Answer
The power (exponent) for each reactant in a rate law, also known as the reaction order with respect to that reactant, is determined experimentally.
It is not derived from the stoichiometric coefficients of the balanced chemical equation, unless the reaction is an elementary (single-step) reaction. Experimental methods, such as the method of initial rates or by fitting concentration-time data to integrated rate laws, are used to find these orders.
