## Test 3 - Derivations

$aR \to bP, Rate = -\frac{1}{a} \frac{d[R]}{dt} = \frac{1}{b}\frac{d[P]}{dt}$

### Test 3 - Derivations

Do we need to know how to derive all of the differential/integral rate laws for the upcoming test?

Thanks!

Yes, considering the time Dr Lavelle devoted to the derivations, I'm guessing they important for the test/finals.

Yes, if you look at the chemical kinetics outline one of the bullets says "Know how to derive the differential and integrated rate laws for zero, 1st and 2nd order reactions and know how to derive their respective half-life equations."

Although the formulas for Rate Laws and Integrated Rate Laws are given, it is helpful to know how to derive the integrated rate law to have a better understanding of the concepts.
