Rate Laws — Quiz

Question 1 • 26-27 - C - RUSD Chemistry in the Earth System

Which situation is appropriate for using rate laws?

Answer
A
to see how fast hydrogen peroxide decomposes into water and oxygen
B
to determine the moles of nitrogen that are produced from a reaction between nitrogen monoxide and hydrogen
C
to determine the order of reaction from the products in a chemical equation
D
to determine the products of the decomposition of dinitrogen tetroxide gas

Explanation

Rate laws describe how a reaction’s rate depends on the concentrations of reactants, so they are used to study how fast a reaction proceeds. Choice A, measuring how fast hydrogen peroxide decomposes, is an appropriate use. Rate laws do not determine product amounts from stoichiometry or identify products, and reaction order generally cannot be read from the overall chemical equation alone.
