Question
During the kinetic study of the reaction, 2A + B → C + D, following results were obtained

Based on the above data which one of the following is correct ?

Based on the above data which one of the following is correct ?
Options
A.rate = k [A]2[B]
B.rate = k [A] [B]
C.rate = k [A]2[B]2
D.rate = k [A] [B]2
Solution
Let the order of reaction with respect to A is x and with respect to B is y. Thus,
rate = k [A]x [B]y
For the given cases,
(i) rate = k (0.1)x (0.1)y = 6.0 × 10-3
(ii) rate = k (0.3)x (0.2)y = 7.2 × 10-2
(iii) rate = k (0.3)x (0.40)y = 2.88 × 10-1
(iv) rate = k (0.4)x (0.1)y = 2.40 ×10-2
On dividing eq. (i) by (iv), we get

or
∴ x = 1
On dividing Eq. (ii) by (iii), we get

or
∴ y = 2
Thus, rate law is,
rate = k [A]1 [B]2 or
= k [A] [B]2
rate = k [A]x [B]y
For the given cases,
(i) rate = k (0.1)x (0.1)y = 6.0 × 10-3
(ii) rate = k (0.3)x (0.2)y = 7.2 × 10-2
(iii) rate = k (0.3)x (0.40)y = 2.88 × 10-1
(iv) rate = k (0.4)x (0.1)y = 2.40 ×10-2
On dividing eq. (i) by (iv), we get

or

∴ x = 1
On dividing Eq. (ii) by (iii), we get

or

∴ y = 2
Thus, rate law is,
rate = k [A]1 [B]2 or
= k [A] [B]2
