Question

The following rate data were obtained at 25degrees C for the indicated reaction.

What is the rate-law expression for the reaction: A + B --> 2 C

Exp [A]mol/L [B] mol/L Rate of formation of C (M/min)

1 0.10 0.10 4.0 * 10-4

2 0.30 0.30 3.2 * 10-2

3 0.10 0.30 3.6 * 10-3

4 0.20 0.20 6.4 * 10-3

a) rate= k[A][B]
