Question

a. What is the order with respect to A? (number)

b. What is the order with respect to B? (number)

c. What is the overall order of this reaction? (number)

d. If the concentration of A is doubled while the concentration of B is kept constant, the rate of the reaction would ______ by a factor of ________

e. If the concentration of B is doubled while the concentration of A is kept constant, the rate of the reaction would ________ by a factor of _________.

f. If the concentration of B is doubled while the concentration of A is halved, the rate of the reaction would________ by a factor of __________.

Explanation / Answer

The order of the reaction with respect to their reactants can be determined using their rate laws.

So here :

a) Order with respect to A is 1.

b) Order with respect to B is 2.

c) The overall order of the reaction is 1 + 2 = 3.

d) When the concentration of A is doubled , while the concentration of B is kept constant , the rate of reaction would increase by a factor of 2.

e) If the concentration of B is doubled while the concentration of A is kept constant , the rate of reaction would increase by a factor of 4.

f) If the concentration of B is doubled while the concentration of A is halved , the rate of reaction would increase by a factor of 2.
