  Lecture 20: Order reaction
 


Third Order Reaction

Consider the third order, trimolecular reaction,

RR proportional to third power of concentration of participating species,

Third order combustion reactions !

 
Reverse Reaction

Chemical reactions may proceed in both forward and reverse directions.

Net rate of consumption of A,

Substituting in the above equation, we will get
By integreting the above equation, we can get
can be estimated from the knowledge of
