1.Determine the overall reaction order for the reaction, A+B→2C using the table of data below:

Experiment Initial [A]/M Initial [B]/M Initial rate/M s-1
1 0.010 0.040 0.0031
2 0.010 0.020 0.0015
3 0.020 0.020 0.0032

a. 0

b. 1

c. 2 <-- I think it's this one b/c the numbers are doubled in the table.

d. 3

2. The overall order for the reaction, A+B→C, is 2. A student tests this by measuring the reaction rate at one concentration of A and B, then doubling both concentrations at the same time and re-measuring the rate, which quadrupled. The student concludes that the data support the hypothesis that the above rate law is rate=k[A][B]. Analyze this.

a. The data do support the hypothesis but each trial should be repeated.

b. The data contradict the hypothesis because the rate should have doubled, not quadrupled. <--

c. The data support the hypothesis but a trial holding one reactant constant is needed.

b. The data contradict the hypothesis but testing by changing a single reactant will verify the hypothesis.
