There oughta be a (rate) law!

We looked at average rates and instantaneous rates, almost did some calculus but not quite. The only unique instantaneous rate is the initial rate and we looked at Rate Laws as a relationship between the initial rate of a reaction and the concentrations of the reactants. Rate laws give us insight into the molecule-scale pathway of the reaction.

I handed back exams, if you didn't pick yours up I will have them with me in class on Wednesday and Friday.
