Hi guys, hopefully you can help clear up this minor issue for me. So I realize that in the rate law for a forward, irreversible reaction, the exponents representing reaction order must be determined experimentally and are unrelated to the stoichiometry. And yet I also read that Keq = Kf/Kr. I'm a little confused because the expression containing the rate constant K is unrelated to stoichiometry, yet it shows up in the equation for Keq which IS related to stoichiometry.
Is this just because...
Some confusion over rate and equilibrium constants
