Question
Given a reaction between an organic molecule, denoted as A, and NaSH, we observe the following observations. Using the observations, write a rate law for the reaction.
(a) The rate triples when the concentration of [A] is tripled and the concentration of [NaSH] is held constant.
(b) The rate is decreased when the concentration of [A] is doubled and the concentration of [NaSH] is cut by a factor of 3.
(c) The rate doubles when the concentration of [A] is cut in half and the concentration of [NaSH] is quadrupled.
(d) The rate increases with an increase in temperature.
