Question

graph rate law

based on these three graphs from each trial? I'm not too sure about what a rate law is and how I can determine is based on graphs while certain variables are held constant? please help.

3. The rate of the reaction Y Z Yi this lab, excep that both Y and Z ab ble light, thus, their concentra- ians can both be measured directly in spectrophotometer. In trial 1.CZI is held constant and is measured over time, producing the top three graphs In trial 2, M is held constant and is mea- producing the bottom three graphs. Based ese graphs, write the rate law for CHM 230 Lab 2 17

Explanation / Answer

integrated rate law for 1st order reaction:
ln [A] = –kt + ln [A]o
so, for 1st order reaction ln A vs t should be linear
Which is the case for Y
Hence order of Y is 1


integrated rate law for 2nd order reaction:
1/[A]o = 1/[A] - k*t
so, for 2nd order reaction 1/[A] vs t should be linear
Which is the case for Z
Hence order of Z is 2

rate law is:
rate = k [Y] [Z]^2
