Q.

Predict the rate law of the following reaction based on the data given below: 2A+B→C+3D2A+B \rightarrow C+3D

Reaction number[A] (M)[B] (M)Initial rate (M s−1\text{M s}^{-1})
10.10.1x
20.20.12x
30.10.24x
40.20.28x

(a) rate=k[A]2[B]\text{rate}=k[A]^2[B] (b) rate=k[A][B]2\text{rate}=k[A][B]^2 (c) rate=k[A][B]\text{rate}=k[A][B] (d) rate=k[A]1/2[B]3/2\text{rate}=k[A]^{1/2}[B]^{3/2}

Step 1. Comparing reactions 1 and 2: [A][A] doubles (0.1→\rightarrow0.2), [B][B] unchanged, and rate doubles (x→2xx\rightarrow2x). Since 21=22^1=2, the order with respect to A is 1.

Step 2. Comparing reactions 1 and 3: [B][B] doubles (0.1→\rightarrow0.2), [A][A] unchanged, and rate quadruples (x→4xx\rightarrow4x). Since 2n=4⇒n=22^n=4\Rightarrow n=2, the order with respect to B is 2. …
