Best Answer

A + B --> C

has non-elementary reaction rate equation

-rA = kCACB1/2

The exponent of CA is 1, the exponent of CB is 1/2, for an overall reaction order of 1 + (1/2) = 1.5. Do not let the stoichiometric coefficients from the reaction mislead you. It has to do with the rate equation for a given reaction, not the (net) chemical reaction itself.

What happened to the rate of a reaction as the reaction progresses?

In general, and depending on the order of the reaction, the rate will decrease as the reaction progresses.


What happens to the reaction rate as the reaction gets used up?

The reaction rate depends on the order of the reaction. In general (except for zero order), as the reaction progresses, the rate decreases with time.

How is rate of a chemical reaction usually expressed?

Rates of reaction can be expressed depending upon their order.For example say you have a reaction between two chemicals and the initial rate for that reaction is known :-when:-The concentration of one of the reactants is doubled and the other reactants concentration remains the same and the overall rate of reaction does not change - reaction is zero orderwith respect to chemical which was doubled.The concentration of one of the reactants is doubled and other reactants concentration remains the same and the overall rate of reaction doubles - reaction is first order with respect to chemical which was doubled.The concentration of one of the reactants is doubled and other reactants concentration remains the same and the overall rate of reaction quadruples - reaction is second order with respect to chemical which was doubled.Zero Orderrate = kFirst Orderrate = k [A] (reaction is 1st order with respect to [A] and 1st order overall)Second Orderrate = k [A][B] (reaction is first order with respect to [A] and first order with respect to[B], reaction is second order overall)rate = k [A]2 (reaction is second order with respect to [A] and second order overall)Orders are simply added together in order to determine the overall order of reaction :-rate = k [A][B][C] would be third order overall and first order with respect to each of the reactantsThere are other orders of reaction, for example 2 and 3 quarter orders and third order reactions, but these are a little more complex.
