Problem

The rate equation for a reaction between reactants A and B was found to be

\text{rate} = k[\text{A}]^a[\text{B}]^b

a. a What name is given to

k

in the expression above and what does it represent? b. b What name is given to terms such as

a

and

b

in this rate equation? c. c For the rate equation, what name is given to the sum of

a

and

b

? d. d What is the effect of temperature on the values of

a

b

and

k

in a rate equation, such as that given here?
