Question

An experiment is performed using a reaction such as 2A + B---> C. When the concentration of A is doubled, the reactionrate doubles. When the concentration of B is doubled, the reactionrate doubles. a) What are the orders with respect to [A] and [B]? b) What is the overall order? c) Does the reaction occur as written? If not, suggest apossible mechanism An experiment is performed using a reaction such as 2A + B---> C. When the concentration of A is doubled, the reactionrate doubles.

Explanation / Answer

Both A and B: rate doubles and concentration doubles. This means both are first ordered. a. [A] = 1; [B] = 1 b. total up the order: 1+1 = 2 c. No, the coefficient are not represented correctly. If it hadbeen A + B then it would be correct.
