What are the reaction orders with respect to A, B, and C, respectively?
A. |
0, 2, 1 |
|
B. |
1, 1, 1 |
|
C. |
1, 2, 0 |
|
D. |
1, 2, 1 |
|
E. |
0, 1, 1 |
Essentially:
r1 r2 |
= | k [A]1a
[B]1b k [A]2a [B]2b |
then
with respect to A
0.0015/0.0005 = (0.60)^a / (0.2)^a * (1)
3 = (0.6/0.2)^a
3 = 3^a
a = 1
for B
0.0005/0.0020= (0.1)^b / (0.2)^b * (1)
0.25 = (0.1/0.2)^b
1/4 = (1/2 ) ^b
b = 2
for C
0.0015/0.0005 = (0.60)^a / (0.2)^a * (1)
Experiment does not include C in initial rates so
0.016/0.008 = (0.2/0.4)^c * (0.4/0.2)^1
0.016/0.008 * (0.2/0.4) = (0.2/0.4)^c
1 = 0.5^c
no correlation so choose 0
orders = 1, 2, 0
