Answer to Question #77094 in Physical Chemistry for merry

Question

b) For a reaction of the type:
B Products
the initial rate of the reaction (i.e. the rate at time t = 0; denoted Ro) Was measured at T=298 K for different values of the initial concentration of the reactant B (denoted [B]o). The measured data are:

[B]o / mol dm—3 3.0 6.0 9.0 12.0 1 5.0
Ro / mol dms s- 1 21.8 87.1 1 96 348 545


Using the method of initial rates and drawing an appropriate graph, determine the order of the reaction and the value of the rate constant for the reaction at T -- 298 K.
