For the reaction $2 A + B \longrightarrow D + E$,the following mechanism has been proposed: $A + B \longrightarrow C + D$ (slow) and $A + C \longrightarrow E$ (fast). Determine the rate law.

  • A
    $r = K[A]^2[B]$
  • B
    $r = K[A][B]$
  • C
    $r = K[A]$
  • D
    $r = K[A][C]$

What is rate law? Give a relation between rate of reaction and concentration of reactants.

During the kinetic study of the reaction $2A + B \rightarrow C + D$,the following results were obtained:
Experiment $[A] \ (M), [B] \ (M)$ and Initial rate of formation of $D$
$i. \ [A]=0.1, [B]=0.1$ $6.0 \times 10^{-3} \ M \ s^{-1}$
$ii. \ [A]=0.3, [B]=0.2$ $7.2 \times 10^{-2} \ M \ s^{-1}$
$iii. \ [A]=0.3, [B]=0.4$ $2.88 \times 10^{-1} \ M \ s^{-1}$
$iv. \ [A]=0.4, [B]=0.1$ $2.40 \times 10^{-2} \ M \ s^{-1}$

Based on the above data,the overall order of the reaction is:

The rate of reaction,$A + B \rightarrow \text{product}$,is $7.2 \times 10^{-2} \ mol \ dm^{-3} \ s^{-1}$ at $[A] = 0.4 \ mol \ dm^{-3}$ and $[B] = 0.1 \ mol \ dm^{-3}$. The reaction is first order in $A$ and second order in $B$. Calculate the rate constant.
