Rate laws, or which reactant will dictate how fast a reaction will occur (RATE), is necessary for any reaction that creates an intermediate, a "halfway point' formed between the reactants and the final products of a reaction.

In these videos, we will learn how to determine the order of the reactants, or the effect of the reactant on the overall reaction rate.

Begin with the following video to find the order of the reactants

Then watch this video to learn how to mathematically determine the order of a reactant and rate law constant for a reaction.

I found the first video to be very informational, but also very hard to grasp the entire concept. I feel like I understand it, but at the same time, I am confused. The second video was hard to see at first, but I was able to realize how to do after completing the second step in finding the rate law. The speaker in the second video was also hard to understand at sometimes. Other than that, I thought the videos were excellent.
