what does a zero order reaction describe
where changing the concentration does not affect the rate
what does a first order reaction descrive
the rate and change in concentration are directly proportional
what does a second order reaction describe
the rate is proportional to X^2
what is the rate determining step
the step with the slowest rate within the overall rate

it decreases
what does k represent in the arrhenius equation
rate constant
