Question

1. Given the reaction 2A + 3B à C + 4D the reaction is zeroth order with respect to A and second order with respect to B. If the concentration of both A and B are doubled and the temperature remains unchanged, the rate of the reaction will increase by a factor of what?   Why?

2.      The kinetics of the reaction A+B à P were studied. The following data was collected. What is the rate law for this reaction?   Why?

Explanation / Answer

1) with respect to A reaction is zero order.

with respect to B second order.

so by doule the concentration of A rate will not change.

by double the concentration of B rate increased by 4 times.

2) with respect to A reaction is second order

with respect to B reaction is zero order

rate = K [A]2

reaction is zero order with respect to B. so it is excluded in rate law.

when concentration of A increases 3 times reaction increases 9 times so second order with respect to A
