@JoannaBlackwelder The wording of the question confuses me...

joannablackwelder · Answer

Well, temp is not in the formula at all.
rate=k[reactants]^order

joannablackwelder · Answer

So that brings us to B or C

joannablackwelder · Answer

The sum of the exponents is the order, so I think you could say it is included in the rate law.

joannablackwelder · Answer

Make sense?

vera_ewing · Answer

Okay so it's C?

joannablackwelder · Answer

No, I get B, constant, concentration, and order

vera_ewing · Answer

Ohh okay that makes sense. Thank you.
