2. Given the hypothetical chemical reaction shown below, provide an appropriate rate law
expression for each of the following. You may select from the following expressions:
$$A + B \longrightarrow Products$$
Your response for each item below, may be selected from the following expressions:
1. $$Rate = k[A][B]$$
2. $$Rate = k[A]^n$$
3. $$Rate = k[B]^n$$
(a) What would be an appropriate rate law expression if the chemical reaction was a
first order reaction?
(b) What would be an appropriate rate law expression if the chemical reaction was a
second order reaction overall?
(c) Using complete sentences state the objective of this experiment. That is, what is to
be determined with the data collected in the laboratory?
