(a)
Interpretation:
The rate law for the reaction has to be written.
Concept Introduction:
Rate law or rate equation: The relationship between the reactant concentrations and reaction rate is expressed by an equation.
Order of a reaction: The order of a reaction with respect to a particular reactant is the exponent of its concentration term in the rate law expression, and the overall reaction order is the sum of the exponents on all concentration terms.
Rate constant, k: It is a proportionality constant that relates rate and concentration at a given temperature.
(b)
Interpretation:
The catalyst (s) has to be picked out, if any.
Concept Introduction:
Properties of catalysts:
Catalysts provide a lower energy pathway by decreasing activation energy. They are not consumed by the reaction. They do not change the final amounts of reactants and products produced.
