What are the most common mistakes students make in Chemical Kinetics?
order is found by experiment; it only matches the coefficients for a genuinely elementary reaction.
Top mistakes to avoid in Chemical Kinetics: • order is found by experiment; it only matches the coefficients for a genuinely elementary reaction. • reading the order off the balanced equation's coefficients. • thinking k depends on concentration. • thinking a catalyst changes ΔH or the position of equilibrium. • assuming half-life is constant for every order.
