Question

Initial rate of reaction data is given in the next question for the following reaction:

2A + B C +D
The rate of reaction = k[A]X[B]. What are x and y, that is, what is the order of reaction with respect to A and B?
Select one or more:
a. x =0
b. x = 0.5
c. x = 1
d. x = 2
e. y = 0
f. y = 0.5
g. y = 1
h. y = 2

Answer 1

The order of reaction with respect to A is 1 and the order of reaction with respect to B is also 1. The rate law for the reaction is rate = k[A][B].

Step-by-step explanation:

The order of reaction with respect to A is 1 (x=1) and the order of reaction with respect to B is also 1 (y=1). Therefore, the rate law for the reaction is rate = k[A][B]. The reaction is a second-order reaction overall.
