Talk:Order of reaction

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This 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.

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)
