I remember doing questions like this on chad's quizzes, but forgot how and I don't want to pay again for a subscription for just one problem. Anyways here it is, I hope you can help me.

For rate problems, how would you get the equation superscripts if say the CO concentrations were 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 instead of (0.1, 0.1, 02). What I mean is, what do you do if you can't cancel out one set of concentrations? Usually your given at least two identical concentrations which is easy to solve, but I just don't remember what you do when the concentrations for at least one reactant are all different. Your help is much appreciated. 🙂

You'll likely never encounter a situation like that on your DAT. If they do give you a rate problem, the two reactants will each have identical concentrations for at least 2 of the trials listed. This way, you'll always be able to cancel out 1 reactant so you can find the order of the other.
