A chemist is studying the effect of acid rain on the steel in bridges. Why would she most likely use rate laws in this study?
to see how much of the steel reacts with the acid rain
to see how the concentration of the acid would affect the rate at which the steel corroded
to determine how much weight the steel bridge can now hold
to determine how much the color of the steel bridge has changed

what data does a study in rate laws use?

anonymous · Answer

im leaning towards a is this correct good sir?

jfraser · Answer

only one of the possible answers even uses the word RATE. I'd look at that one first

anonymous · Answer

OKAY SO B Tthanks bruh. you mind helipng me on some other problems

jfraser · Answer

i can try

anonymous · Answer

Consider the rate law below.
r=k[l]2 [x][y]
What is the overall order of the reactants in this reaction?
0
1
2
3

anonymous · Answer

any ideas?

jfraser · Answer

overall rate is determined by adding all the individual rate orders
