Question

During an experiment involving nitrogen monoxide and chlorine gas, the following data are obtained for the reaction: 2A + B2 → 2AB at 300 K.

Experiment No Initial Concentration Initial Rates
  [A] [B2]  
1 0.010 0.010 1.2x10-4
2 0.010 0.020 2.4x10-4
3 0.020 0.020 9.6x10-4

a) Using the log method, give the orders of reactants and the order of the reaction.
b) Write rate of law for the reaction.
c) Calculate the specific reaction rate constant in experiment 2.
d) Calculate the specific reaction rate constant in experiment 3.

Expert Solution
Step 1: Given information:

(a) The given reaction is as follows:

space 2 straight A space plus space straight B subscript 2 space rightwards arrow space 2 AB space

Let the prder of the reaction with respect to [A] concentration is x and order of reaction with respect to open square brackets straight B subscript 2 close square brackets is y.

The rate Law can be written as follows:

Rate equals straight k open square brackets straight A close square brackets to the power of straight x open square brackets straight B subscript 2 close square brackets to the power of straight y

k is rate constant of the reaction.
