  • D 0.3, 0.3

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) ⇒\Rightarrow x = 1

(2) ÷ (3) ⇒\Rightarrow 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)

⇒\Rightarrow k = 6

From experiment IV,

7.2 × 10–2 = 6(x)1(0.2)2 ⇒\Rightarrow x = 0.3

From experiment V,

2.88 × 10–2 = 6(0.3)1(y)2 ⇒\Rightarrow y = 0.4
