3. Third order reactions are not commonly important because chemical events where three diffusing species collide all at once are rare. We should still be able to find what the units for a third order rate constant would be though. Write a generic rate law for a third order reaction below and solve for the units of k.

Which of the following is assumed when using the Arrhenius equation? Please explain. The constant A is independent of temperature The half-life is independent of the initial concentration The rate equation is third order or less The temperatures of interest vary by 15 K or less I'm confused since the arrhenius equation doesn't really specify in itself how to determine the half life and rate equation.

The steady state approximation may be used when There are no reaction intermediates A simplified rate law is desired The half-life of the reaction is long compared to mixing time A catalyst appears in the reaction mechanism The rate of concentration change for a reaction intermediate is very small

A student follows the Determining the Rate Law for the Crystal Violet-Hydroxide lon Reaction procedure. The stock concentration of sodium hydroxide used in trial 1 is 0.020 M. The stock concentration of sodium hydroxide used in trial 2 is 0.010 M. After graphing the data, the slope of the straight-plot line for trial 1 is -0.0722 and for trial 2 is -0.0712. Calculate the reaction order with respect to hydroxide ion concentration. Give your answer as an integer.
Let's say that tea leaves in a tea bag in hot water are coming out at the rate of a first-order function. If the amount of ingredients left in the tea bag is 5 units after a certain period of time after being put in water, and 2.5 units remain after 10 minutes, how many minutes have passed before the first unit remains?
