Question

The following data is for a reaction between reactants A and B: \[ \begin{array}{|c|c|c|} \hline \text{Rate (mol L}^{-1}\text{s}^{-1}) & [A] & [B] \hline 2 \times 10^{-3} & 0.1\,M & 0.1\,M \hline 4 \times 10^{-3} & 0.2\,M & 0.1\,M \hline 1.6 \times 10^{-2} & 0.2\,M & 0.2\,M \hline \end{array} \] The order of the reaction with respect to A and B, respectively are:

• A. \(1,0\)
• B. \(0,1\)
• C. \(1,2\)
• D. \(2,1\)

Hint:

While finding reaction order, compare only those experiments where one reactant concentration changes and the other remains constant.
