c) In a reaction, A + B → Product, rate is doubled when the concentration of B is doubled, and rate increases by a factor of 8 when the concentrations of both the reactants (A and B) are doubled. Choose the correct rate law for the reaction from below. Explain your answer briefly.

 

  1. Rate = k[A][B]
  2. Rate = k [A][B]2
  3. Rate = k [A]2[B]
  4. Rate = k [A][B]3

d) One mole of N2(g) occupies 5 L of volume at 300 K in a sealed cylinder. The gas behaves ideally in expanding isothermally to 10 L. Calculate w, ΔE and ΔH if the expansion proceeds (i) reversibly, (ii) irreversibly against an external pressure at 0.2 atm.
