Question

A reaction is first order with respect to reactant X and second order with respect to reactant Y.

Which statement describes the rate law for this reaction?

a-rate = k[X][Y]
b-rate = k[X]2[Y]
c-rate = k[X][Y]2
d-rate = k[X]2[Y]2
e-rate = k[Y]

Answer 1

"c-rate = k[X][Y]2"
To find the rates with respect to reactants, look at the partial orders of the reactants.
