Question

In a reaction between A and B, the initial rate of reaction (r0) was measured for different initial concentrations of A and B as given below:

A/ mol L−1

0.20

0.20

0.40

B/ mol L−1

0.30

0.10

0.05

r0/ mol L−1 s−1

5.07 × 10−5

5.07 × 10−5

1.43 × 10−4

What is the order of the reaction with respect to A and B?

Solution

Let the order of the reaction with respect to A be x and with respect to B be y.

Therefore,

Dividing equation (i) by (ii), we obtain

Dividing equation (iii) by (ii), we obtain

= 1.496

= 1.5 (approximately)

Hence, the order of the reaction with respect to A is 1.5 and with respect to B is zero.
