When boron trifluoride reacts with ammonia, the following reaction occurs:

${\text{BF}}_3\left(g\right)+{\text{NH}}_3\left(g\right)\to {\text{BF}}_3{\text{NH}}_3\left(g\right)$The following data are obtained at a particular temperature:

(a) What is the order of the reaction with respect to BF₃, NH₃, and overall?

(b) Write the rate expression for the reaction.

(c) Calculate k for the reaction.

(d) When $\left[{\text{BF}}_3\right]=0.533M$ and ${\text{NH}}_3=0.300M$, what is the rate of the reaction at the temperature of the experiment?
