Chapter 16.3, Problem 16.3BFP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The rate law for the reaction needs to be determined.

Concept Introduction: For a general reaction,

  $aA+bB\to cC+dD$

The rate law expression can be represented as follows:

  $r=k{\left[A\right]}^a{\left[B\right]}^b$

Here, k is the rate constant, a is the order with respect to A, and b is the order with respect to B.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The value of rate constant for the reaction needs to be calculated.

Concept Introduction: For a general reaction,

  $aA+bB\to cC+dD$

The rate law expression can be represented as follows:

  $r=k{\left[A\right]}^a{\left[B\right]}^b$

Here, k is the rate constant, a is order with respect to A, and b is order with respect to B.

Rate constant can be calculated using the experimental data for the concentration of reactants and the initial rate for the reaction.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: For the given concentration, the value of rate constant needs to be calculated.

Concept Introduction: For a general reaction,

  $aA+bB\to cC+dD$

The rate law expression can be represented as follows:

  $r=k{\left[A\right]}^a{\left[B\right]}^b$

Here, k is rate constant, a is order with respect to A, and b is order with respect to B.
