Rate = k [A]2[B]
= (289 L2mol-2hr-1)(0.0140 mol L-1)2(1.35 mol L-1)
= 0.0766 mol L-1hr-1
(d)
According to the equation: 2 mol B reacts with 1 mol A, therefore, B is the limiting reagent, while
only 0.006 mole/L of A reacts.

Answer #2:
Using the method of initial rates, we take the ratio of rates between reactions 2 and 1 to determine the order of the
reaction in permanganate.
By taking the ratios of the rates of experiments 3 and 1 we can obtain the order of the reaction in chlorite.
Finally, by taking the ratios of the rates of experiments 4 and 1 we can obtain the order of the reaction in H+.
Now that we know the order of the reaction in permanganate is 2, chlorite is 1, and H+ is 1/2, we can use the
rate and concentration data in experiment 1 to calculate the rate constant.
Answer #3:
The graph of ln [HN3] versus time is linear:
That means the reaction is a first order decay process with a rate law rate = k
[NaN3]. The value of k is the negative of the value of the slope, so k = 0.056 s-1.

Answer #4:
(a) Plot ln k vs. 1/T; Eact = -R (slope)
OR
Plot log k vs. 1/T; Eact = -2.303 R (slope)
(b) Plot ln P or log P vs. time
Plot 1/P vs. time
If the former is linear, the reaction is 1st order. If the latter is linear, the reaction is 2nd order. If the
reaction is 1st order, slope = -k1 or -k1 2.303. If 2nd order, slope = k2.

(b) (i) Rate increases. At temperature increases, the molecules move faster and collide more frequently
resulting in more possible reactions in the same time span as before. Also, and more importantly, they
have more kinetic energy which results in a higher percentage of molecules that have sufficient
activation energy when they collide, resulting in more effective collisions and reactions.
(ii) Heat of reaction is increased. The energy of the reactants is increased so the H (difference between
reactants and products) is larger.
(c) Conduct a series of experiments in which the [Y2] is kept constant and the [X2] is varied by a specific
amount and measure the initial reaction rate. Repeat keeping [X2] constant and varying [Y2] as in the
table below.
Expt. # [X2] [Y2] Initial reaction rate

If R1 = R2 then m = 0, if R2 = 2R1 then m= 1, and if R2 = 4R1 then m = 2. Use similar logic to compare R3
with R1 and determine the value of n.
(d) Reaction II will initially be faster since it has the lower activation energy, a higher % of its molecules
(since they are at the same temperature) will have sufficient energy to create the activated complex
resulting in more effective collisions.
OR
It is not possible to determine which reaction has a faster rate without knowledge of other (preexponential) factors. It cannot be assumed these factors will be the same for X2, Y2 as for A2, B2, or that
a similar mechanism is involved.
