Differential Rate Law

[samanthaywu]

Is the method of initial rates the one that gives us the differential rate law? (As opposed to the integrated rate law)

[Nina Ellefsen 2D]

yes, we use the method of initial rates to determine a differential rate law of the reaction and we can integrate from there to get an integrated rate law.

[Arya Adibi 1K]

Yes, the method of initial rates helps us determine the order of each reactant. From there, you can integrate with respect to each reactant to get an integrated rate law.

[Evonne Hsu 1J]

Yes, the initial rates can be used to find the differential rate law, and then you can use that to integrate again to get the integrated rate law. Hope that helps!
