In a reaction between A and B, the initial rate of reaction (r0) was measured for different initial concentrations of A and B as given below:

A/ mol L1

0.20

0.20

0.40

B/ mol L1

0.30

0.10

0.05

r0/ mol L1s1

5.07 × 105

5.07 × 105

1.43 × 104

What is the order of the reaction with respect to A and B?

Answer 4.10:

Let the order of the reaction with respect to A bexand with respect to B bey.

Therefore,

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

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

= 1.496

= 1.5 (approximately)

Hence, the order of the reaction with respect to A is 1.5 and with respect to B is zero.
