Explanation / Answer

Ans. From part B,      rate = k [A]3

Putting the values in above expression for [A] = 0.15 M

            0.014 M s-1 = k (0.15 M)3

            Or, k = 0.014 M s-1 / 0.003375 M3

            Hence, k = 4.148 M-2 s-1

Therefore, rate constant for the given reaction, k = 4.148 M-2 s-1
