Third Order Reactions

[Maggie Elgin 2A]

I know that third reactions are extremely uncommon but what would be example of a real life third order reaction?

[Sydmon Nguyen-Tran 1N]

The hydrolysis of sucrose in acid solution is third-order, r = k[sucrose][H+][H2O]; however, the concentrations of both the catalyst H+ and the solvent H2O are normally constant, so that the reaction is pseudo–first-order.

[Jimmy Zhou 3D]

The rate constant for a third order reaction would also be M-2 s-1 if time was given in seconds.

[Jimmy Zhou 3D]

also if you had a reaction with A+B+C -> products

that could be a third order reaction.

[Natassia Dunn 3G]

What would be the integrated rate law for a third order reaction?

[nathansalce 3e]

The general example of a third order reaction is one where 3 molecules must collide, making it unlikely to occur as this is an unlikely event.
