For the following reaction: 4 A(g) + 3 B(g) -> 2 C(g), experimental data was collected at a constant temperature.
Trial Initial [A] (mol/L) Initial [B] (mol/L) Initial Rate (mol/L·min)
1. 0.100 0.100 5.00
2. 0.300 0.100 45.0
3. 0.100 0.200 10.0
4. 0.300 0.200 90.0
a) Determine the order for each reactant, and the overall order for the reaction.
b) Write the complete rate equation (law) for the reaction.
c) Using the data in trial 2, calculate the value for the rate constant for this reaction.
d) Calculate the rate of reaction when [A] = 3.29 M and [B] = 2.51 M.
e) By what factor does the rate change if the concentration of A is increased by a factor of 5 (x5) while the concentration of B is decreased by a factor of 1/3?
