A)Determine the rate law of the reaction and find the value of
the rate constant (k) with proper units.
2O3 → 3O2
Experiment # Initial [O3] (M) Initial
Rate (M/sec)
1 0.2 4
2 0.4 8
3 0.6 12
B) Find out the rate constant K data for a method of initial rates
problem with three experimental rates determined.
[A] [B]
rate
Experiment 1 1M
.1M 2 x 10-4
Experiment 2 2M
.1M 4 x 10-4
Experiment 3 2M
.2M
4 x 10-4
This table shows that after doubling the initial concentration of O3, rate is getting doubled. Therefore, the rate is first order in terms of concentration of O3.
Rate = K [O3]
4 M/Sec = K (0.2)M
K = 4/0.2 Sec-1= 40/2 Sec-1= 20 Sec-1
B) This table shows that after doubling the initial concentration of A, rate is getting doubled while doubling the concentrations of both the A and B, rate is doubled. This observation indicates that the reaction is first order in terms of concentration of A and zero order in terms of concentration of B. Thus the rate law can be represented as:
Rate = K [A]1 [B]0
2 x 10-4 = K x 1
K = 2 x 10-4 Sec-1
