Question

For the following reaction, it is found that doubling the amount of X causes the reaction rate to quadruple. Doubling the amount of Y doubles the rate. What is the best rate law equation for this reaction?

X + Y 2 Z

rate = k[X]2[Y]

rate = k[X][Y]2

rate = k[X]2

rate = k[X]

Answer 2

I don't know this one ;-;

Answer 3

it is fine !

Answer 4

Okay so one way a teacher taught me to do these problems was imagine I was in a tango.
This may sound VERY weird, but if you take 3 steps back, and 2 forward, you are still backward by one step. You've gotta match the doubling X's and tripling Y's until they both meet.
