What is the reaction rate law for the reaction $\frac{1}{2}$A + B \rightarrow C if the reaction is elementary a. What is $r_B$? b. Calculate the rates of A, B, and C in a CSTR where the concentrations are $C_A = 1.5$ $\frac{mol}{dm^3}$, $C_B = 9 \frac{mol}{dm^3}$ and $k_A = 2 (\frac{dm^3}{mol})^{\frac{1}{2}}s^{-1}$.

Step 1
The rate of the reaction is proportional to the concentrations of the reactants raised to their respective stoichiometric coefficients. The reaction rate law for this elementary reaction is: r = k[A]^a[B]^b where r is the reaction rate, k is the rate constant, Show more…

The rate law for a certain reaction A → B was found to be first order, that is rate = k[A]. The value of the rate constant, k, was experimentally determined to be 5.3 x 10-2 s-1. Calculate the rate of the reaction when the concentration of A is 0.45 mol L-1.

The rate law expression for the reaction is represented as follows: Rate = k [A][B]^(1/2) i) Interpret whether the reaction is elementary or complex. Give reasons to support your answer. ii) Write the units of the rate constant for this reaction if the concentration of A and B is expressed in moles/L.

For a reaction in which A and B react to form C, the following initial rate data were obtained: Initial Rate of [A] (mol/L) Initial Rate of [B] (mol/L) Formation of C (mol/L s) 0.10 0.10 1.00 0.10 0.20 4.00 0.20 0.20 8.00 What is the rate law? Select one: a. Rate = k[A][B] b. Rate = k[A]^2[B] c. Rate = k[A][B]^2 d. Rate = k[A]^2[B]^2 e. Rate = k[A]^3
