Select the false statement below. The rate law of a reaction is determined by me

Question

Select the false statement below.

The rate law of a reaction is determined by measuring initial instantaneous rates and therefore is not affected by product concentration.

A. The rate law of a reaction includes a rate constant k which is specific for that particular reaction at a particular temperature. B. The rate law of a reaction can not be confidently determined by the stoichiometry of the reaction unless the reaction is an elementary reaction/step. C. The rate law of a reaction contains orders with respect to the individual reactants, and the product of the individual reactant orders yields the overall order of the reaction. D.

The rate law of a reaction is determined by measuring initial instantaneous rates and therefore is not affected by product concentration.

Explanation / Answer

A) is mainly true

B) Thats true, many times it is impossible

C) this is false, in general, the law is only dependent of reactants. Besides, the order of a reaction is given by the addition of the overall order, not the product!

D) this is true for every instantaneous rate
