third order

[Priscilla Okaiteye]

Do we need to worry about third order anything?

[Gillian Ward 1F]

Possibly, it is in the curriculum.

[Arman M 1A]

I believe Professor Lavelle said we were going to cover only up to second order

[Rogelio Bazan 1D]

Hope this helps, from my understanding Dr. Lavelle only wants us to focus on 1st, 2nd, and Oth order reactions but third order is not a scope of this class.

[MichelleRamirez_2F]

The textbook says their are mostly uncommon. It may be useful to know because they may appear when asked for overall reaction order.

[Andie Jian 1D]

Because third order reactions are so uncommon, I think Lavelle mentioned that we would not be focusing on them at all for calculations. Especially because the equation is not on the formula sheet, I think it would be really unlikely we would have to calculate anything for them. If anything, I would just understand that if it is third order, that means 3 molecules/atoms would have to collide at the same time and place in order for the reaction to occur.

[Subhani Diu 1F]

In lecture he mentioned that they are unlikely and he placed more emphasis on understanding the 0th, 1st, and 2nd order.

[Ruth Glauber 1C]

Does this apply to W20?

Possibly, it is in the curriculum.

what is the third order?

[Louise Lin 2B]

The third order is when three molecules collide at the same time and in a certain correct orientation that causes a reaction to take place.

[Robert Tran 1B]

No, since third order reactions are very uncommon, they are not covered in our curriculum.

[Jasmine W 1K]

No, we are not covering third order reactions.
