Given the initial rate data for the reaction A + B → C, determine the rate expression for the reaction.
[A], M |
[B], M |
Δ[C]/Δt (initial) M/s |
0.0500 |
0.160 |
2.24 ´ 10-3 |
0.0750 |
0.160 |
3.36 ´ 10-3 |
0.0750 |
0.272 |
9.72 ´ 10-3 |
Let the rate expression be Rate = k[A]x[B]y.
we need to find out the values of k,x and y.
from first set,
2.24*10-3 = k[0.0500]x[0.160]y ....(1)
Similarly,
3.36*10-3 = k[0.0750]x[0.160]y ....(2)
9.72*10-3 =k[0.0750]x[0.272]y ...(3)
Dividing eq 2 by 1 we get-
3.36*10-3/2.24*10-3 = [0.0750]x[0.0160]y / [0.0500]x[0.160]y
1.5 = [0.0750]x/[0.0500]x
1.5 = [1.5]x
[1.5]1 = [1.5]x
x = 1
Now dividing eqn 3 by eqn 2-
9.72*10-3/3.36*10-3 = [0.0750]x[0.272]y / [0.0750]x[0.160]y
2.89 = [1.7]y
[1.7]2 = [1.7]y
y = 2
so, Rate = k[A][B]2
k = Rate/[A][B2]
keeping values in this-
k = 2.24*10-3/0.0500*(0.160)2 = 1.75
k = 3.36*10-3/0.0750*(0.160)2 = 1.75
so,
Rate = 1.75[A][B]2
