Question

#40B how do you find the overall order if there is a one half order? 40. A reaction in which A, B , and C react to form products is zero order in A , one ?half order in B , and second order in C. a. Write a rate law for the reaction. b. What is the overall order of the reaction? c. by what factor does the reaction rare change if [A] is doubled (and the other reactant concentrations are held constant)? d By what factor does the reaction rate change if [B] is doubled (and the other reactant concentrations are held constant)? e. By what factor does the reaction rate change if [C] doubled (and the other reactant concentration are held constant) ? f. By what factor does the reaction rate change if the concentrations of all three reactants are doubled ?

Explanation / Answer

Reaction is:

          A + B + C ----> Products

Order of reaction with respect to reactants, A is 0, B is ½, and C is 2.

a. Rate law for the reaction is,

              rate = k[A]0 [B]1/2 [C]2 = k [B]1/2 [C]2

b. Overall reaction order is sum of the orders of the reactants.

             Order = 0 + ½ + 2 = 5/2 = 2.5
