The formula

rate = k × [A]^x × [B]^y average rate = |Δconcentration| ÷ Δt

The orders x and y come from experiment. The fields for the other method are ignored.

What to watch out for

Doubling a concentration doubles the rate in first order and quadruples it in second order.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the rate with k = 0.5, [A] = 0.2 and [B] = 0.1, first order in each?

0.01 mol/(L·s).

What is the average rate if a concentration falls from 1 to 0.75 mol/L in 50 s?

0.005 mol/(L·s).
