Question

In the reaction,
A + B C D
doubling the concentration of A {making it 2[A] } while keeping [B]
constant, increases the rate of the reaction by a factor of 8. Calculate the order of the
reaction in reactant A.
Rate = k [A]
%3D

Expert Solution

Step 1

Order of a reaction

It gives the dependence of concentration of reactants to the rate of a reaction.

It is obtained by adding the exponents of concentration terms in the rate law.

For a reaction

$\begin{array}{rcl} nA & \to & P \\ rate & = & k {[A]}^{n} \\ k & = & rate constant \\ [A] & = & concentration of reactant A \\ n & = & order of reaction \end{array}$
