Document Summary
Rate law explains how the rate of the reaction depends on the concentration of the reactants. Rate is defined by the rate of loss of reagents scaled by the stoichiometric coefficients. Rate of reaction is thought of as rate velocity and velocity is the rate of distance over time want to know how far you"ve gone. To understand how much reagent is lost/product is formed must integrate the rate law. Normal rate law just tells us how quickly the reagent is lost not how much reagent is lost. N and m are equal to 0 equal 1. Does not depend on the concentration of reagents rate of reaction is a constant related to change in concentration (mol/l) with time (s) Unit of rate is mol/l/s constant must also must having the same unit. Different reaction orders have constants with different units.
