Question
Compounds ‘A’ and ‘B’ react according to the following chemical equation.
\[\ce{A(g) + 2B(g) -> 2C(g)}\]
Concentration of either ‘A’ or ‘B’ were changed keeping the concentrations of one of the reactants constant and rates were measured as a function of initial concentration. Following results were obtained. Choose the correct option for the rate equations for this reaction.
| Experiment | Initial concentration of [A]/mol L–¹ |
Initial concentration of [B]/mol L–¹ |
Initial rate of formation of [C]/mol L–¹ s–¹ |
| 1. | 0.30 | 0.30 | 0.10 |
| 2. | 0.30 | 0.60 | 0.40 |
| 3. | 0.60 | 0.30 | 0.20 |
Options
Rate = k[A]2[B]
Rate = k[A][B]2
Rate = k[A][B]
Rate = k[A]2[B]0
Solution 1
Rate = k[A][B]2
Explanation:
Rate = k[A]x[B]y
When concentration of B is doubled keeping the concentration of A constant, the rate of formation of C increases by a factor of four. This indicates that the rate of reactions depends upon the square of concentration of B. When concentration of A is doubled, the rate of formation of C also doubles from the initial value. This shows that the rate depends on first power of concentration of A. Hence Rate= k[A]x[B]y.
Solution 2
Let order of A and B be x and y.
r = k [A]x [B]y
0.1 = k (0.3)x (0.3)y ...(1)
0.4 = 0.1 = k (0.3)x (0.6)y ...(2)
0.2 = 0.1 = k (0.6)x (0.3)y ...(3)
Divide 2 by 1
`0.4/0.1 = (0.6)^"y"/(0.3)^"y"`
Divide 3 by 1
`0.2/0.1 = (0.6)^"x"/(0.3)^"x"`
Hence Rate law is
r = k [A]1 [B]2

The rate of reaction is concerned with decrease in the concentration of reactants or increase in the concentration of products per unit of time. It can be expressed as instantaneous rate at a particular instant of time and average rate over a large interval of time. A number of factors such as temperature, concentration of reactants, catalyst affect the rate of reaction. Mathematical representation of rate of a reaction is given by rate law: Rate = k[A]x [B]y x and y indicate how sensitive the rate is to change in concentration of A and B. Sum of x + y gives the overall order of a reaction. |
