Question
**Topic: Chemical Reaction Rates**

**6-13 For the Hypothetical Reaction:**
\[ 3A + 2B \rightarrow 2C + 3D \]

The rate law was experimentally determined to be:
\[ \text{Rate} = k[A]^1[B]^1 \]

**Questions:**

1. **What is the order of the reaction with respect to A?**

   - The reaction is first order with respect to A.

2. **What is the order of the reaction with respect to B?**

   - The reaction is first order with respect to B.

3. **What is the overall order of the reaction?**

   - The overall order of the reaction is 2 (1 + 1).

4. **Suggest how many molecules each of A and B are likely to be involved in the rate-determining step of the reaction.**

   - Given that both A and B have an order of 1, it is likely that one molecule of A and one molecule of B are involved in the rate-determining step.

**6-16 Suggest a Reason for Carrying Out Enzymatic Reactions in Buffered Solutions:**

- *Response Idea:* As enzymes have a narrow range of optimum pH values, the use of a buffer solution ensures the pH remains constant, facilitating maximum enzyme activity and stability during a reaction.

Expert Solution
Step 1

6-13 )

Given hypothetical chemical reaction is 

3A + 2B -------------> 2C + 3D 

The rate expression is 

rate = K[ A ]1[B]1
