Answer:
Rate = k [A]2 [B]
Explanation:
4A(g) + 3B(g) → 2C(g)
Initial [A] (mol/L) Initial [B] (mol/L) Initial Rate(mol/L·min)
1 0.100 0.100 5
2 0.300 0.100 45
3 0.100 0.200 10
4 0.300 0.200 90
Upon observing experiments 2 and 4, along with 1 and 3;
Doubling the concentration of B doubles the rate of the reaction. This means the reaction is first order in respect to B.
Upon observing experiments 1 and 2, along with 3 and 4;
Tripling the concentration of A increases the reaction rate by a factor of 9. This means the reaction is second order with respect to A.
rate law for the reaction:
Rate = k [A]2 [B]
