3rd order, 4th order, etc.

[Emily Warda 2L]

To what extent do we need to know third, fourth, or further order reactions? Do we need to know their half life reactions?

[Yutian Zhao -1J]

I don't believe we need to know the half-life reaction of third or fourth order reaction. But we should be able to tell if it is a third or fourth order reaction based on the experimental data that are given. Hope it helps.

[Mitch Mologne 1A]

Seeing as it hasn't been covered too in depth in lecture, I would not think we need to know the half lives.

[Lindsay Kester 2L]

You can derive all of the half life reactions, but since third and fourth order reactions aren't likely, we don't need to know them really.

[Maria1E]

I think the only thing we would need to know is to be able to identify whether it is a third or fourth order reaction based on initial rates.

[Akash_Kapoor_1L]

Could someone give some examples of a 3rd or 4th order reaction that we might see on a test? I've only seen 1st and 2nd order reactions in the textbook really.
