Talk:Order of reaction

2012 additions
I'll add some more to this article in a couple of weeks (4th January 2012)

kThis description is misleading. The second paragraph correlates the reaction of A + 2B -> C and r= k[A][B]^2. This may lead readers to think that the stoichiometric coefficient defines the species order when it does not.


 * The previous paragraph dates to 2007 and makes an excellent point. I have now rewritten the intro with a real example in which the species orders are not equal to the stoichiometric coefficients, and pointed this out clearly. Dirac66 (talk) 14:35, 11 October 2012 (UTC)

I don't know enough about reaction order to correct this page, but I want whomever wrote this article to know that they did a very poor job of explaining reaction order so a college-level chemistry student can understand it. Boo. 192.147.171.174 (talk) 02:54, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Please define a bit more thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 119.152.22.247 (talk) 14:54, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
