Solution

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

Therefore, rate of the reaction is given by,

According to the question,

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

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

Therefore, the rate law is

Rate = k [A] [B]2

From experiment I, we obtain

= 6.0 L2 mol−2 min−1

From experiment II, we obtain

= 6.0 L2 mol−2 min−1

From experiment III, we obtain

= 6.0 L2 mol−2 min−1

From experiment IV, we obtain

= 6.0 L2 mol−2 min−1

Therefore, rate constant, k = 6.0 L2 mol−2 min−1
