Final equation for the representation of rate of reaction in term of concentration is called
- A. Rate law
- B. Rate constant
- C. Reaction rate
- D. Reaction order
Explanation
The rate law, or rate equation, states the rate as the rate constant multiplied by concentration terms raised to their experimentally determined powers. The rate constant is only the proportionality factor within it and the order is the exponent, so both are components of the rate law rather than the equation itself. Orders must be found by experiment, since they need not match the coefficients in the balanced equation.
