Question

For the reaction A+B+CD+E, the initial reaction rate was measured for various initial concentrations of reactants. The following data were collected:

What is the value of the rate constant k for this reaction?

Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units. Indicate the multiplication of units explicitly either with a multiplication dot or a dash.

Explanation / Answer


order w.r.t C = 1

(1.5*10^(-4)/(4.5*10^(-4))) = (0.5/1.5)^n

n = 1

order w.r.t B = 0

(6.0*10^(-4)/(6.0*10^(-4))) = (0.5/1.0)^n

n = 0

order w.r.t A = 2

(1.5*10^(-4)/(6.0*10^(-4))) = (0.5/1.0)^n

n = 2


RATE = k[A]^2[B]^0[C]^1

(1.5*10^(-4)) = k(0.5^2*0.5^0*0.5^1)

k = 0.0012 M-2.s-1
