You will write functions for the method of initial rates. One finds the order in a reactant from two runs. One finds the rate constant from a run. One tells you whether a number can be the molecularity of an elementary step.
The idea. When only changes, . So . The rate constant is .
Your tasks.
order(rate_a, rate_b, conc_a, conc_b) so that it returns the order in the reactant whose concentration changed.rate_constant(rate, concs, orders) so that it divides the rate by every concentration raised to its own order.possible_molecularity(m) so that it returns True only for the numbers an elementary step can have.Have you tried it?
Do the tasks in the editor first, and run the checker after each one. Its hints help when a check fails. When you are ready, compare your code with this solution.
