Effect of Concentration -- Rate Law

• The Rate Law describes the relationship beteween the rate of a reaction and the concentration of reactants.

  • aA + bB ? xX
  • Rate = k[A]m[B]n[C]p

• The Rate Constant, k

  • Relates Rate and Concentration at a particular temperature

• The Reaction Order

  • How does the rate vary as concentration changes?
