The initial rate of a chemical reaction, P + Q arrow Products , was...
The initial rate of a chemical reaction, , was measured at various initial concentrations of the reactants. The experimental data is provided in the accompanying table.
Based on this data, which of the following represents the correct rate law for the reaction?
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
B.
Step-by-step solution
Let the rate law be .
From Experiment 1 and 2, when is kept constant at , the concentration of is increased from to (by a factor of ). The rate increases from to (by a factor of ).
From Experiment 2 and 3, when is kept constant at , the concentration of is increased from to (by a factor of ). The rate increases from to (by a factor of ).
Therefore, the rate law is .
