Consider the following reaction. 2 A + B −→ P A table of initialrates with initial concentrations of A and B is given below. [A]o(M) [B]o (M) rate M s 0.2 0.1 1.2 × 10−5 0.4 0.1 2.4 × 10−5 0.4 0.29.2 × 10−5 0.1 0.1 6.0 × 10−6 What is the rate expression? (a) r =k[A] [B]2 (b) r = k[A] [B] (c) r = k[A]2 [B] (d) r = k[A]2 [B]2

Let the rate is, r = k[A]x [B]y

[A]0                       [B]0                       r

0.2                        0.1                        1.2*10-5                    (i)

0.4                        0.1                        2.4*10-5                    (ii)

0.4                        0.2                        9.2*10-5               (iii)

0.1                        0.1                        6.0*10-6                    (iv)

from, (i)

r =1.2*10-5= k[A]x [B]y = k[0.2]x [0.1]y........1

from, (ii)

r =2.4*10-5= k[A]x [B]y = k[0.4]x [0.1]y............2

deviding 2 by 1 we get,

2x = 2

so, x = 1

from, (iii)

r =9.2*10-5= k[A]x [B]y = k[0.4]x [0.2]y............3

deviding 3 by 2 we get,

2y = 3.8 = 4 (almost)

so, y = 2

the rate is, r= k[A]x [B]y = k[A] [B]2
