The rate equation for the reaction between reactants X, Y and Z is shown below.
rate = k [X]2 [Y]
State the orders with respect to X, Y and Z.
What is the overall order of this reaction?
The rate of reaction is 3.72 x 10-5 mol dm-3 s-1 when the
- concentration of X is 0.01 mol dm-3
- concentration of Y is 0.02 mol dm-3
- concentration of Z is 0.04 mol dm-3
Calculate the rate constant, k, for this reaction, including the units.
The experiment was repeated but the initial concentration of X was doubled, all other concentrations remained the same.
State what the effect would be on the rate of reaction.
Explain your answer.
