2. What is the rate law for the theoretical reaction 2 A + B C + 2 D? a. rate = K[A]² [B] b. It is impossible to determine from this information. c. rate= K[C][D]² d. rate = k[A][B]
You have a reaction: A + B --> C The reaction is first order with respect to A and 2nd order with respect to B. If 1.3 mol of A is mixed with 2.3 mol of B to make a 1.000 L solution and the rate of the reaction is 1.6 M/s, what is the rate constant (k)?
A certain chemical reaction 2A → B + C is proposed to occur in three elementary steps: Step 1: A ⇌ B + D (fast) Step 2: D ⇌ E (slow) Step 3: A + E → C (fast) Which one of the following rate laws is consistent with the proposed mechanism? A. Rate = k[A][B]–1 B. Rate = k[A]2 C. Rate = k[A]3[B]–1 D. Rate = k[A]2[B]–1 E. Rate = k[A]
