What information does the rate constant given from the rate law?

it tells how much the reaction rate is affected by concentration


What has the largest value of the constant k?

how does the rate law show how concentration changes after the rate of reaction


The value of k in a rate law?

K is known as the rate coefficient, or the rate constant. The value of k is particular, and varies from reaction to reaction. It is dependent on different factors such as temperature, pressure, concentration, solvent, presence of a catalyst, etc., and therefore a change in any of these gives you a new value for k. To determine the value of k, you must use the experimental data to determine if you have a zeroth order, first order, or second order reaction. As indicated by the equation below, you must also have the actual rate.Rate= k[A]m[B]n[C]pYour overall reaction order is given by the sum of the orders of reactant.If you have a zeroth order reaction overall, then k will be equal to the rate. So if the reactants are consumed at a rate of 1.00 mol/liter/sec, then your k has a value of 1.00 mol/liter/sec. This means that no matter how much of the species you add, a lot or just enough, you will not change the rate.If you have a first order reaction where the concentration of A, [A] (in mols/liter), is consumed at a rate of .004 mol/liter/sec, then k = [A]/.004 mol/liter/sec, as given by the above equation: You divide the rate by the concentrations of the reactants. The units for a first order reaction are sec-1 or 1/sec, because you are dividing moles per liter by moles per liter per second. So the concentration of this does matter. The concentration of the reactant is proportional to the rate of reaction.If you have a second order reaction, then the addition of a reactant will increase the rate of reaction by a square of the concentration of the reactant. This is because you are now dividing the rate of reaction by, for example, [HNO3]2. Remember the the previous variables m, n, or p are the experimentally determined order of reactant. So a second order reaction results in squaring the concentration. Hope that helps!


How are all three versions of the law of cosines correct?

It follows from the cyclical symmetry of the cosine rule.


Why the direction of resultant vector in the triangle law of addition is reverse?

In order to bring the system to equilibrium, action and reaction cancel out. The resultant is the reaction.
