Question

What is k in the rate law equation?

Rate = K[A] M[B]"
A. An equilibrium constant
B. A rate constant
C. A volume constant
O D. A pressure constant

Answer 1

k is a rate constant in the rate law equation

Answer 2

B. A rate constant

Step-by-step explanation:

The mathematical expression of rate law is given below,

Rate = K[A]m[B]n

This rate law show the relationship between the rate of chemical reaction and concentration of reactants.

In given equation [A] and [B] are molar concentration of reactants while K represent rate constant.

The value of K is specific for particular reaction at particular temperature,

m and n are represent exponents and determine experimentally. The value of K is not depend upon the concentrations of reactant but depend upon the surface area and temperature
