Rate laws
Will we ever need to assume the order of a reaction? Are we always going to be told if a reaction is in the zero, first, or second order?

Re: Rate laws
Im not sure if we have to assume but we might have to infer if we were given the graph vs tome or something like that. Or a set of experimental data.
Re: Rate laws
Well, we could possibly be asked to calculate the order of the reaction with respect to a certain substance given a table of concentrations.

Re: Rate laws
We could also be given a graph and be asked whether reaction is zero order, first order, or second order to a particular reactant. For example, if the concentration decreases exponentially over time with respect to a particular reactant, then the reaction is second order to that reactant.
