Expert Solution
Step 1
  • Reaction rate means speed of the reaction under given conditions.
  • Reaction rate depends on concentration by Van't Hoff Differential method (as follows):-

         r1r2=(c1c2)n

          where,

          r1 and r2 are the reaction rates at two different concentration values (c1 and c2 ).

          and, 'n' is the order of the reaction.

  • One can find the order of the reaction(n) from this reaction rate dependence on concentration.
  • Rate constant(K) is the ratio of the reaction rate and the concentration of reactants raise to their order for the reaction.

         K=r[reactant]n
