Question

The reaction X + Y --> products was studied using the method of initial rates. The initial rate of consumption of X was measured in three different experiments. Data are provided below.

[X]o
(in mol/L),
[Y]o
(in mol/L),
Initial Rate
(in mol L-1 s-1)

1= 0.400, 0.700, 1.176
2= 1.00, 0.700, 7.350
3= 0.400, 1.75, 7.350


What is the order of the reaction with respect to X?
What is the order of the reaction with respect to Y?
Specify the units of k by giving the appropriate powers of mol, L and s:

The power of mol is

The power of L is

The power of s is

Explanation / Answer

The rate law would then be: Rate = k*([Xo]^-1)*([Yo]^1) To find k, just plug in a rate, [Xo] and [Yo] using any row/run of data. I'm going to use data from run #1. 8.250 = k*(0.200)^-1*(0.200)^1
