k'

Postby Nickolas Manipud 1C » Mon Mar 05, 2018 12:09 pm

Is there any relation between the pseudo-constant k' and the reverse rate constant k' ?

I think here we were just using the same notation to indicate different concepts that relate to k.

The book states: "The rate law for a pseudo-first-order reaction is much easier to analyze than the
true rate law because it depends on the concentration of only one substance."

are the units for the forward reaction k the same as the overall reaction k units?

I think in class today, Dr. Lavelle used k and k' to denote the rate constants for the forward and backwards reactions of a reaction at equilibrium.
