Chapter 14.2, Problem 5CP

The diagrams represent three experiments in which the reaction $\text{A +B}\underset{}{\to }\text{C}$ is carried out with varied initial concentrations of A and B. Determine the rate law for the reaction.

(A = green, B = yellow. C = red.)

$\begin{array}{l}\text{a)}\hfill \\ \text{rate = }k\left[\text{A}\right]\left[\text{B}\right]\hfill \\ \text{b)}\hfill \\ \text{rate = }k{\left[\text{A}\right]}^{\text{2}}\left[\text{B}\right]\hfill \\ \text{c)}\hfill \\ \text{rate = }k\left[\text{A}\right]{\left[\text{B}\right]}^{\text{2}}\hfill \\ \text{d)}\hfill \\ \text{rate =}k{\text{[A]}}^{\text{2}}\hfill \\ \text{e)}\hfill \\ \text{rate = }k\left[\text{B}\right]\hfill \end{array}$
