Chapter 15, Problem 39c

A reaction in which A, B, and C react to form products is first order in A, second order in B, and zero order in C c. By what factor does the reaction rate change if [A] is doubled (and the other reactant concentrations are held constant)?

Video transcript

Hi everyone here we have a question asking us to consider the reaction A plus B plus C forms products with the rate law K times A times C determine the change. If A is doubled, B is half, and C remains the same So I write one equals K times the concentration of A times the concentration of C, our right to equals two times K. Times the concentration of A. Times the concentration of C, Which equals two times right, one. So the rate increases By a factor of two. And that is our final answer. Thank you for watching. Bye.

This reaction is first order in N2O5: N2O5(g) → NO3(g) + NO2(g) The rate constant for the reaction at a certain temperature is 0.053/s. b. What would the rate of the reaction be at the concentration indicated in part a if the reaction were second order? Zero order? (Assume the same numerical value for the rate constant with the appropriate units.)
