Explanation / Answer

10. C) 0

The reaction is zero order with respect to B.

From experiments 1 and 3:

[A]1 = [A]3 = 0.100 M

[B]1 = 0.100 M,        [B]3 = 0.200 M

R1 = R3 = 0.000040 M/s

Keeping the concentration of A constant, when concentration of B is doubled, the rate of the reaction does not change. Hence, the rate is independent of concentration of B. So, it is zero order with respect to B.

11. E)2

The reaction is second order with respect to A.

From experiments 1 and 2:

[A]1 = 0.100 M         [A]3 = 0.200 M

[B]1 = [B]3 = 0.100 M      

R1 = 0.000040 M/s       R3 = 0.000160 M/s = 4 R1

keeping concentration of B constant, on doubling the concentration of A, the rate becomes 4 times. So, rate of reaction must be second order with respect to A.

Rate = k[A]2[B]0

when R is proportional to [A]2, on doubling A, rate becomes [2A]2 = 4A2. So, rate becomes 4 times.

12. D) Rate = k[NO]2[Cl2]

From experiments 1 and 3: keeping concentration of [Cl2] constant, when [NO] is doubled, rate beomes 4 times. Hence, the reaction is second order with respect to NO.

From experiments 2 and 3: keeping concentration of [NO] constant, when [Cl2] is halved, rate is halved. Hence, the reaction is first order with respect to Cl2.

Hence the rate of the reaction is

Rate = k[NO]2[Cl2]
