What a rate equation tells you
A rate equation shows how the rate depends on reactant concentrations, for example rate=k[A]m[B]n\text{rate} = k[A]^m[B]^nrate=k[A]m[B]n. The powers mmm and nnn are the orders with respect to A and B.
Step-by-step lessons on AQA A Level Chemistry Determination of rate equation (A-level only). Each one builds up to exam-style questions. Build confidence with atomic structure, bonding and moles calculations early on, since these underpin the more demanding organic mechanisms, equilibrium and practical-analysis topics that dominate Year 2.
