## rate law

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

### rate law

When there are two of the same products being produced, will the rate law always have a coefficient of 2?

### Re: rate law

Do you mean when:
A+B--> C+C
rate law = Rate= k[A][B]
or
A+A+B-->C+C
rate law = Rate = k[A]^2[B]

The product isn't part of the rate.

Rate law is not affected by products so no.

### Re: rate law

the only thing you would have to take into account the coefficient of the product is the unique rate

### Re: rate law

you dont use products in the rate law but you have the right idea with the coefficients

### Re: rate law

no rate laws don't include products you are thinking of the equilibrium constant

Rate Laws do not include products.
