Step-by-Step Verified Solution
Rate = k[A]a[B]b
6 × 10–3 = k(0.1)a(0.1)b ...(1)
2.4 × 10–3 = k(0.1)a(0.2)b ...(2)
1.2 × 10–3 = k(0.2)a (0.1)b ...(3)
(3) ÷ (1) x = 1
(2) ÷ (3) x = 2
So, order with respect to A = 1
Order with respect to B = 2
6 × 10–3 = k(0.1)1 (0.1)2 from (1)
k = 6
From experiment IV,
7.2 × 10–2 = 6(x)1(0.2)2 x = 0.3
From experiment V,
2.88 × 10–2 = 6(0.3)1(y)2 y = 0.4
6 × 10–3 = k(0.1)a(0.1)b ...(1)
2.4 × 10–3 = k(0.1)a(0.2)b ...(2)
1.2 × 10–3 = k(0.2)a (0.1)b ...(3)
(3) ÷ (1) x = 1
(2) ÷ (3) x = 2
So, order with respect to A = 1
Order with respect to B = 2
6 × 10–3 = k(0.1)1 (0.1)2 from (1)
k = 6
From experiment IV,
7.2 × 10–2 = 6(x)1(0.2)2 x = 0.3
From experiment V,
2.88 × 10–2 = 6(0.3)1(y)2 y = 0.4
