For a reaction pA + qB ⟶ products, the rate law expression is r = k [A]m [B]n then — Chemical Kinetics Chemistry Question

💡 Solution & Explanation

Products m n pA qB r k A B -> m and n are order of reactions while p and q are stoichiometric coefficients. For elementary reactions, both can differ. Thus, in general, order may or may not be equal stoichiometric coefficients.
