Interpretation: The difference between the first-order reactions in comparison to high-order reactions is to be stated.
Concept Introduction: The sum of the power of the reacting species (reactants) given by rate law or rate expression gives the order of the reaction.
Answer to Problem 60A
The rate of a first-order reaction is proportional to the concentration of one reactant only whereas the rate of a higher-order reaction is proportional to more than one reacting species.
Explanation of Solution
A first-order reaction is a reaction in which the rate is proportional to the concentration of one reactant only. On the other hand, high-order reactions are reactions in which the rate is dependent on two or more than two reacting species depending on the type of
