Answer to Question #57954 in Inorganic Chemistry for XM

Question

6. Consider the hypothetical reaction : A + B -> C
This rapid reaction gives the following data:
Experiment [A-] (M) [B-](M) Initial Rate (M/s)
1 0.1 0.50 0.053
2 0.2 0.30 0.127
3 0.4 0.60 1.02
4 0.2 0.60 0.254
5 0.4 0.30 0.509

(i) Write the rate law for this reaction.
(ii) Calculate the average rate constant with proper units.
(iii) Calculate to the rate when [A] = 0.30M and [B] = 0.40M
