Initial rate data for is collected: Exp 1: . Exp 2: . Exp 3: . What is the rate law? — Chemical Kinetics Chemistry Question
Question
Initial rate data for $A + B \rightarrow C$ is collected: Exp 1: $[A]=0.1, [B]=0.1, R=1.2\times10^{-3}$. Exp 2: $[A]=0.1, [B]=0.2, R=1.2\times10^{-3}$. Exp 3: $[A]=0.2, [B]=0.1, R=2.4\times10^{-3}$. What is the rate law?
Answer: C
💡 Solution & Explanation
Comparing Exp 1 & 2: doubling [B] while keeping [A] constant does not change the rate. Order w.r.t B is 0. Comparing Exp 1 & 3: doubling [A] while keeping [B] constant doubles the rate. Order w.r.t A is 1. The rate law is $\text{Rate} = k[A]$.
