Rate law equation The rate of a chemical reaction depends on the concentrations of the reactants. For the general reaction between AA and BB, aA+bB⇌cC+dD aA+bB⇌cC+dD The dependence of the reaction rate on the concentration of each reactant is given by the equation called the rate law: rate=k[A]m[B]rate=k[A]m[B]n where kkk is a proportionality constant called the rate constant. The exponent mmm determines the reaction order with respect to AA, and nnn determines the reaction order with respect to BB. The overall reaction order equals the sum of the exponents (m+nm+n).

Explanation:

In the following reaction;

aA+bB⇌cC+dD

A and B are the reactants while C and D are the products.

a, b, c and d are regarded as coefficients.

The dependence of the reaction on the concentration of the reactants is given by the rate law.

This is given by;

rate= k [A]^m [B]^n

where

K = Rate constant. Constant for the reaction at that temperature.

m = order of reeaction with respect to A

n = order of reaction with repsect to B

Overall order of reaction is given by m + n
