Question

Using the following data below for the generic reaction A + B --> 2C + D , which obeys the rate equation d[D]/dt=k[A]α[B]β 

[A] (M) [B] (M) d[D]/dt (M/s)
0.300 0.300 1.31×10−5
0.600 0.300 3.69×10−5
0.300 0.600 1.85×10−5

a. What are the orders with respect to A and B (α,β)? What is the overall reaction order?

b. What is the value of the rate constant k? Be sure to include units.

c. Collecting concentration vs. time data would be another possible method to determine k. Describe and sketch the way you would plot these data to obtain a linear relationship, and how you would determine k based on this plot.
