Question

For the reaction A + B C, the following data were obtained. In the first experiment, when the initial concentrations of both A and B are 0.1 M, the observed initial rate of formation of C is 1 × 10^–4 mol litre^–1 minute^–1. In the second experiment when the initial concentrations of A and B are 0.1 M and 0.3 M, the initial rate is 9.0 × 10^–4 mol litre^–1 minute^–1 . 

(a) Write rate law for this reaction 

(b) Calculate the value of specific rate constant for this reaction.

Answer 1

K = 10^–1 = 0.1 L² mol^–2 min^–1
