Question
Part A
What is the reaction order with respect to A?
Part B
What is the reaction order with respect to B?
Part C
What is the reaction order with respect to C?
For the reaction A+B+CD+E, the initial reaction rate was measured for various initial concentrations of reactants. The following data were collected: Trial [A](M) [B]
(M) [C]
(M) Initial Rate
(M/s) 1 0.10 0.10 0.10 3.0×105 2 0.10 0.10 0.30 9.0×105 3 0.20 0.10 0.10 1.2×104 4 0.20 0.20 0.10 1.2×104
Part A
What is the reaction order with respect to A?
Part B
What is the reaction order with respect to B?
Part C
What is the reaction order with respect to C?
Explanation / Answer
rate= k [A]x [B]y [C]z
from data table
3.0 x 10^-5 =k [0.1]x [0.1]y [0.1]z ------------->(1)
9.0 x 10^-5 =k [0.1]x [0.1]y [0.3]z ------------->(2)
1.2 x 10^-4 =k [0.2]x [0.1]y [0.1]z ------------->(3)
1.2 x 10^-4 =k [0.2]x [0.2]y [0.1]z ------------->(4)
by solving 1 & 2 , we get
z = 1
by solving 1 & 3 , we get
x = 2
by solving 3 & 4 , we get
y = 0.
rate= k [A]2 [B]0 [C]1
reaction order with respect to A = 2
reaction order with respect to B = 0
reaction order with respect to C = 1
