College chem.
 

I hate lab reports....

Im stumped on this question, what mathematical function might decribe the relationship between reaction rate and solution concentration...

Any idea? :helpme

Rate is Proportional to Concentration.

You need to also include a rate constant. Let me know specifially what you need.

College Sucks!

Reaction Rate = K (rate constant) * [X]^x * [Y]^y

where [X] is the concetration of X raised to the power of x and [Y] is the concentration of Y raised to the power of y. The powers are determined experimentally and decide the order of the reaction. If x=1 and y=1, then the reaction is second order, which means that it depends on the concentrations of X+Y.

Hope this helps.

It's all about the molarity baby yeah!

Man I miss college.

yup, college rocks :winkwink:

Great..I have that next semester..I am dying with peacewise functions :-x

As I recall, it's a curve - the more reactants are used the more the reaction slows. There are also three ways to calculate reaction rates - at the beginning, a specified point in time, or average. There was some calculus required to get the tangential rate along the curve. There's also a temperature factor too but Lev's formula definately brings back memories.

Man this is coming back and it hurts.

What he said

The angle of the danle is invertionally proportion to the beat of the meat. :2 cents:

I hate that subject!
