Question

Given the following rate equation, complete the sentences to identify the reaction order for each reagent, the overall reaction order, and what effect doubling substance A and halving substance B would have on the overall rate of the process.

Rate= k[A] [B]^3

a. zero
b. first
c. second
d. third
e. fourth
f. remain the same as
g. be 1/4 of
h. be 1/2 of
i. be twice
j. be four times


1. Given the rate equation. the reaction order with respect to A is _________order
2. Given the rate equation, the reaction order with respect to B is _________ order
3. Given the rate equation. the overall reaction order I s________ order
4. Given the rate equation. when the concentration of A is doubled while that of B is halved, the rate will ________the original rate.

Answer 1

Answer:

1. First

2. Third

3. Fourth

4.remain the same as

Explanation:

Given the reaction equation;

Rate= k[A] [B]^3

We can see that the order of reaction is first order with respect to reactant A and third order with respect to reactant B. This gives an overall fourth order reaction.

If the concentration of A is doubled and that of B is halved. The rate of reaction remains the same.
