what can the rate constant be calculated using
the initial rates and the rate equation
the half-life
-
in order to find the rate constant k, how can the progress of the reaction be followed
by measuring the initial rates of the reaction using various initial concentrations
-
to find the rate constant k step 1
rearrange the rate equation to find k
-
to find the rate constant k step 2
substitute the values of one of the experiments to find k
-
to find the rate constant k step 3
confirm the value of k using values from other experiments
-
from which order of reaction are we expected to calculate the rate constant from
the first order reaction
