Chapter 11, Problem 28QRT

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The order of the reaction with respect to the reactant A, B and the overall order of the reaction have to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

Consider the following reaction.

  $A+B\to P$

The rate of this reaction can be expressed as follows,

  $rate=k{\left[A\right]}^x{\left[B\right]}^y$

Where,

$k=$ rate constant

$\left[A\right]=$ concentration of A

$\left[B\right]=$ concentration of B

$x=$ order with respect to A

$y=$ order with respect to B

x and y are experimental quantities.

The overall order of the reaction can be calculated as follows,

  Order of the reaction $=x+y$
