Describe with specific examples, 3
different methods of determining the
rate Constant of a reaction.​

  • There is actually one method depending of the order of the reaction.

    We will work with the reaction aA —> bB

    We’ll start with the order 0:
    rate=k[A]^0[B]^0=k=(1/a)(d[A]/dt)

    d[A]=kadt

    You integrate.

    [A](t)-[A](0)=kat

    Then you can access to k.

    You do the same for an order 1 and 2 reaction.
    The difference will be that you will have k[A]=(1/a)(d[A]/dt) and
    k[A]^2=(1/a)(d[A]/dt)


    You can also work with the Arrhenius law, it can be another method actually:
    K(T)=Aexp((-Ea)/RT)

    I hope I helped you :)
