All right, so to find the rate law using initial rate data, we need to find the order with respect to each reactive.
00:06
Let's find the order for a by comparing experiments one and two because concentration of b remains constant.
00:11
So we see that the concentration of a doubles, and we compare the rate and it also doubles.
00:17
So that means that we have the a is going to be first order.
00:21
We'll just put a one there to remind ourselves.
00:24
And then for b, let's change colors and look at where a is held constant.
00:28
So we're looking at experiment two compared to experiment four.
00:33
We see that we've tripled the concentration of b.
00:39
And then we can look at that.
00:42
So basically 110 divided by 12.
00:47
Yeah, so that's a ninefold increase.
00:49
So that means that we have the order of two with respect to b.
00:55
So our overall equation is going to be rate is equal to the rate constant times a to the first power...
