Mechanisms and Rate Laws - Advanced
This page will provide exercises in relating reaction mechanisms to the appropriate rate laws. When you click "New Problem", a large window will open. In that window, which you may have to relocate, you will find an overall reaction, the reaction mechanism and a generic rate law for inputting your answer. The presentation has the following format:
- The system is completely homogenous, so all species shown have variable concentrations.
- All processes preceeding the rds are rapidly attained equilibria.
- The observed rate law will only contain species identified as reagents in the overall reaction.
- To submit the answer, use the select boxes after each species to enter the orders.
- It is recommended that you use the "Check Rate Law" button before submittng your answer. This will open a small window with your proposed rate law in it.
- When you are satisfied with your rate law, press the "Submit" button. Results appear on the main window.
