Question
  1. Consider the following reaction: A + B → products. The rate law was found to be rate = k[A][B]^2.

A)What is the order with respect to A?

B)What is the order with respect to B?

C)What is the overall order of the reaction?

D)If the concentration of A is doubled while the concentration of B is kept constant, how will this affect the rate of the reaction? How will this affect the time required for the reaction to reach completion?

E)If the concentration of B is doubled while the concentration of A is kept constant, how will this affect the rate of the reaction? How will this affect the time required for the reaction to reach completion?

F)If the concentration of B is doubled while the concentration of A is halved, how will this affect the rate of the reaction? How will this affect the time required for the reaction to reach completion?
