Step-by-step solution

Given that reaction is first order with respect to X and of zero order with respect to Y. Means r = k X Y 0 Where k = rate constant. Using data I & II 4 × 10 - 3 2 × 10 - 3 = L 0 . 1 0 . 2 0 . 1 0 ⇒ L = 0 . 2 Using data from I & III M × 10 - 3 2 × 10 - 3 = 0 . 4 0 . 1 ⇒ M = 8 Not the ratio which is asked in question M L = 8 0 . 2 = 40
