Rate Laws — Quiz

Question 3 • 26-27 - C - RUSD Chemistry in the Earth System

Which is a reason to use rate laws?

Answer
A
to find the new rate when the concentration of reactants changes
B
to find the number of moles of solute that are dissolved in 1 liter of solution
C
to calculate the molecular weight of compounds in a reaction
D
to investigate how the pressure of liquids affects reaction rates

Explanation

A rate law describes how a reaction’s rate depends on the concentrations of its reactants. Once the rate law is known, you can use it to determine the new reaction rate when reactant concentrations change. The other choices describe finding molarity, calculating molecular weight, or studying liquid pressure, which are not the main purpose of rate laws.
