Introduction to Rate Law

AP Chemistry· difficulty 4/5

Three trials of A + B → C give: (1) [A]=0.10, [B]=0.10, rate=2.0e-3; (2) [A]=0.20, [B]=0.10, rate=8.0e-3; (3) [A]=0.20, [B]=0.20, rate=1.6e-2. Order in A is

  • A

    1

  • B

    0

  • C

    2 (rate quadruples when [A] doubles, B fixed)

  • D

    3

Explanation

From trial 1→2 ([A] 2x, [B] fixed), rate goes 2.0e-3 → 8.0e-3 = 4x = 22^2. Order in A = 2.
