CAPE Chemistry Unit 1 · 2021 · Paper 2 · Question 2(a)(iii)

The initial rate of reaction between Substance Q and Substance R was measured in a series of experiments, giving rate = k[Q][R]².

The order of the reaction with respect to R is 2. State the meaning of the term 'order of reaction' with respect to R.

The mark scheme is shown once you've answered.
