How to Determine Rate Order (Reaction Rates)

Показать описание

*I recommend watching this in x1.25 - 1.5 speed

In this video we go over how to determine what the reaction rate order is for each reactant. It can be a bit tricky to get the hang of knowing which reaction trials to compare, and when you do knowing how much rounding may need to happen to get the most accurate rate order.

I would have liked to be able to compare multiple trials to double check my own rate orders, but look out for this- its better to focus on choosing the best two trials to compare and leave it at that. This is because you do some rounding most times to determine the rate order.

With practice, you'll be able to quickly scan the data table of a problem like these ones and identify the best trials to compare based on which concentrations change and when they do.

Hope this helps someone! Let me know down below if:
- you have an easier way to do these
- you found a mistake or want clarification on something
- you found this helpful :D

* I am not an expert in this topic. I am just a clinical lab scientist and life-long student who learns best from videos/visual representations and demonstration and have often turned to Youtube for help learning. My hope is that others in the same boat find and benefit from this.
