Using the given data, calculate the rate constant of this reaction. **
** A+B ----> C+D

Trial A(M) B(M) Rate(M/s)
1. 0.340 0.200 0.0142
2. 0.340 0.520 0.0960
3. 0.476 0.200 0.0199


k =_____ ?

Answer:

Calculate order of reaction as follows:

Compare powers,
Value of n is 2.
Now, calculate order with respect to reactant A
imageCompare powers therefore, m is equal to 1.
For calculating the rate constant, order of reactants is needed. Order is calculated by using rate equation.
