Question
Which of the following initial conditions will result in the highest initial rate of reaction for the elementary gaseous reaction $A + B \rightarrow \text{Products}$?
Answer: D
💡 Solution & Explanation
For an elementary reaction, Rate $= k[A][B]$. In all three cases, the concentration of $A$ is $1 \text{ mol L}^{-1}$ and the concentration of $B$ is $1 \text{ mol L}^{-1}$. Since concentrations are identical across all options, the initial rates will be exactly the same.
