We’re being asked to determine the order of the reaction based on the reaction and data given.
Recall that the rate law only focuses on the reactant concentrations and has a general form of:
k = rate constant
A & B = reactants
x & y = reactant orders
We can use any of the data to calculate for the order of the reaction. For our calculation, we will use rate 1 and rate 2.
[A] (M) | Initial Rate (M/s) |
0.100 | 0.065 |
0.200 | 0.130 |
0.300 | 0.195 |
