True or false? (a) The orders x and y in a rate law are written
directly from the balancing coefficients from
the balanced equation for a reaction.
(b) The overall order of a reaction is the sum of
the individual orders of the reactants.
(c) If you start a reaction with just reactants
(no product present), then the rate of the
reaction will remain constant with time.
(d) If you start a reaction with just reactants
(no product present), then the rate of the
reaction will decrease with time.
