10questions. Pick an answer and you'll see why right away.

  1. A reaction has rate equation rate=k[A][B]2\text{rate} = k[A][B]^2. What is the overall order?

  2. Doubling the concentration of A doubles the rate; tripling the concentration of B has no effect. What is the rate equation?

  3. Which change increases the value of the rate constant kk?
