The following reaction is first order in A and first order in B: A + B rightarro

Question

The following reaction is first order in A and first order in B: A + B rightarrow Products Rate = k[A][B] What is the rate constant k of this reaction in vessel (b) relative to the rate constant k of this reaction in vessel (a)? Each vessel has the same volume. Shaded spheres represent A molecules, and unshaded spheres represent B molecules. rate constant k in vessel (b)/rate constant k in vessel (a) = 1:2 rate constant k in vessel (b)/rate constant k in vessel (a) = 1:1 rate constant k in vessel (b)/rate constant k in vessel (a) = 2:1 rate constant k in vessel (b)/rate constant k in vessel (a) = 4:1

Explanation / Answer

rateb = K[A][B]
number of A = 8
number of B= 4
so,
rateb = k*(8)*4 = 32*k

ratea = K[A][B]
number of A = 4
number of B= 8
so,
ratea = k*(4)*8 = 32*k

so,
ratea = rateb

Answer:
rate constant k in vessel(b)/rate constant k in vessel (a) = 1:1
