The order of reaction provides valuable information about _ of reaction:
Correct answer: B. Mechanism
- A. Condition
- B. Mechanism
- C. Concentration
- D. Parameters
Explanation
The order of reaction provides valuable information about the mechanism of reaction. The mechanism is the sequence of steps that the reactants go through to form the products. The order of reaction can tell us how many of these steps are involved in the rate-determining step, which is the step that limits the rate of the reaction.

About Reaction Kinetics
Reaction kinetics relates reaction rate to concentration, temperature, surface area and catalysts. Questions cover rate laws, reaction order, rate constants, activation energy and the activated complex, including how a catalyst lowers the activation energy without changing the overall energy change or equilibrium position.
