| Apr 24, 2017 at 15:30 | comment | added | Teoc | @PrittBalagopal Wouldn't the rate be the negative of what you wrote, because we are measuring the rate of formation of product, not reactant? | |
| Apr 24, 2017 at 7:36 | comment | added | Pritt says Reinstate Monica | @Display Name, for reactions at equilibrium, consider it has two reactions, one forward and one backward. Suppose for the reaction: $$\ce{mA + nB <=>[K_1][K_2] pC + qD}$$ We consider the rate of reaction as difference between the forward and backward rates. In that way, you will get the rate law to be: $$Rate=K_2[C]^p[D]^q-K_1[A]^m[B]^n$$ | |

| Apr 24, 2017 at 5:32 | comment | added | Teoc | According to my book rate would be $k[A]^m [B]^n$ is that just a typo on your part? Additionally, how did you derive the rate law for reactions in equilibrium? | |
| Apr 24, 2017 at 5:22 | comment | added | Pritt says Reinstate Monica | Those rate laws are directly derived from the reaction. For example, in an elementary reaction: $$\ce{mA + nB -> C}$$ The rate law would be $$Rate=[A]^m+[B]^n$$ | |
| Apr 24, 2017 at 5:18 | comment | added | Teoc | Sorry, but how did you get your first rate law? | |
