You must determine determine the rate law for the following reaction from the experimental results given A + 3 B AB3 Experimental Results [A] M [B] M Rate [B]/s Exp. 1 0.010 0.200 3.10 x 10 -5 Exp. 2 0.010 0.400 2.50 x 10 -4 Exp. 3 0.020 0.600 1.67 x 10 -3 [B] y - Exp 1 and 2 B doubles and A remains constant The rate increases approximately 8 fold therefore exponent y must be 3
Experimental Results [A] M [B] M Rate [B]/s Exp. 1 0.010 0.200 3.10 x 10 -5 Exp. 2 0.010 0.400 2.50 x 10 -4 Exp. 3 0.020 0.600 1.67 x 10 -3 [A] x Requires calculation since no two experiments have the same concentration for B. Solve for exponent x as an unknown using an equation formed by the ratio of the two experiments and including the previously determined exponent. Exp 30.00167 = k [0.020] x [0.600]3 Exp 2 0.00025 = k [0.010] x [0.400]36.68 = 2 x (3.375) 1.979 = 2 x x 1
