Explanation / Answer

For the above shown reaction and the data set,

a. The plots for rate vs all three aldehyde, amine (catalyst) and a,b-unsaturated substrate are almost a straight line. That means they are all directly protortional to rate. The rate law would thus be first order with respect to all three,

rate law = k[4][PhCHO][NR3]

b. k = 0.002/0.83 x 0.27 x 0.2 = 0.045

c. units for k = M-2.s-1
