Card 1 of 1
Why can the orders of reaction not be deduced directly from a balanced chemical equation?
A
Orders are experimentally determined and do not necessarily match stoichiometric coefficients.
B
Orders are determined by activation energy and are independent of the reaction mechanism.
C
Orders are equal to product coefficients rather than reactant coefficients in the balanced equation.
D
Orders are always whole numbers, whereas stoichiometric coefficients may be fractions.
