Chapter 11, Problem 29QRT

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The order of the reaction with respect to the reactants X, Y and Z has to be calculated.  Also the overall orders of the reaction have to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

Consider the following reaction.

  $A+B\to P$

The rate of this reaction can be expressed as follows,

  $rate=k{\left[A\right]}^x{\left[B\right]}^y$

Where,

    $\text{k =}$ rate constant

    $\left[\text{A}\right]\text{=}$ concentration of reactant A

    $\left[\text{B}\right]\text{=}$ concentration of reactant B

    $\text{x =}$ order with respect to A

    $\text{y =}$ order with respect to B

X and y are experimental quantities.

The overall order of the reaction can be calculated as follows,

  Order of the reaction $=x+y$
