Chemical Kinetics - Result Question 29

####29. During the kinetic study of the reaction, 2A+BC+D, following results were obtained:

Unknown environment 'tabular' \ \hline I & 0.1 & 0.1 & 6.0×103 \ \hline II & 0.3 & 0.2 & 7.2×102 \ \hline III & 0.3 & 0.4 & 2.88×101 \ \hline IV & 0.4 & 0.1 & 2.40×102 \ \hline \end{tabular}

Based on the above data which one of the following is correct?

[2010]

(a) rate=k[A]2[B]

(b) rate =k[A][B]

(c) rate=k[A]2[B]2

(d) rate=k[A][B]2

Show Answer

Solution:

  1. (d) In case of (II) and (III), keeping concentration of [A] constant, when the concentration of [B] is doubled, the rate quadruples. Hence, it is second order with respect to B. In case of I & IV, keeping the concentration of [B] constant, when the concentration of [A] is increased four times, rate also increases four times. Hence, the order with respect to A is one. hence

 Rate =k[A][B]2
