A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Second and third order rate equations

Second- and third-order rate equations describe reactions whose rates depend on the square or cube of reactant concentration, or on products of concentrations whose overall exponents sum to 2 or 3. For exam purposes, you must master the differential rate laws, their integrated forms, the units of rate constants, and how to recognize linear plots and half-life behavior for each order.
