Question

What are the applications of rate law.​

Answer 1

The applications of rate law:-

• Rate law - According to the law of mass action, the rate of a chemical reaction is proportional to the product (x) of the molar concentration of the reactants each raised to a power usually equal to the number of molecules, a and b, of the substances A and B undergoing react.

                              $aA + bB$ ⇒ Product

• The rate law is determined experimentally. But this cannot be created from the stoichiometry of any balanced chemical equation.

• Application of rate law -

1. By knowing the rate law and the rate constant any particular can measure the rate of any reaction at a particular given concentration.
2. The concentration of the reactants or the products and during the progress of a reaction can be estimated with the help of rate law and the rate constant.
3. The mechanisms of simple or complex chemical reactions can be predicted and studied.

Answer 2

Explanation:

the rate of any reaction at given concentration can be measured by knowing the rate law.

the mechanism of simple and complex chemical reaction can be predicted and studied .
