Question

How would this need to be answered? I don’t know how to do any of this.

Answer 1

Step 1

It is known that the rate law can be written as follows:

Given the reaction: X + Y => Products (completed and balanced), the rate of the reaction would be:

$rate\text{ = k }\lbrack X\rbrack^a\lbrack Y\rbrack^b$

k = rate constant

[X] = concentration of reactant X

[Y] = concentration of reactant Y

a, b = are the order of the reaction with respect to X and Y (they are not necessarily the coefficients of the reaction)

---------

Step 2

Information provided:

k

First order in A

Zero order in B

Second order in C

Therefore, the rate law:

Answer:

$\begin{gathered} rate\text{ =k x }\lbrack A\rbrack^1x\text{ }\lbrack B\rbrack^0x\text{ }\lbrack C\rbrack^2 \\ rate\text{ = k x }\lbrack A\rbrack\text{ x }\lbrack C\rbrack^2 \end{gathered}$
