Question

The rate law for the decomposition of A→P is investigated by measuring the initial rate of the reaction for several concentrations of A. The data are shown below. Assuming that the rate law is of the form v=k[A]ⁿ, use a graphical method to determine the value of n.

[A]/M	Initial Rate/(Torr s^-1)	[A]/M	Initial Rate/(Torr s^-1)
1.000	0.1422	0.700	0.0718
0.950	0.1248	0.650	0.0625
0.900	0.1123	0.600	0.0518
0.850	0.0983	0.550	0.0445
0.800	0.0857	0.500	0.0382
0.750	0.0782

Expert Solution

Step 1

Graphs are plotted of rate of reaction against concentration.

If it is a straight line the reaction is first order reaction.

A line which is independent of concentration is zero order reaction.

If a curve is obtained, then it is second order reaction.

Step 2

Plot of rate Vs concentration
