Q.

During the kinetic study of the reaction 2A+BC+D, the following results were obtained:

  A[M] B[M] initial rate of formation of D
I 0.1 0.1 6.0×10-3
II 0.3 0.2 7.2×10-2
III 0.3 0.4 2.88×10-1
IV 0.4 0.1 2.40×10-2

 

Based on above data, overall order of the reaction is _______ .                 [2024]


Ans.

(3)

                      2A+BC+D

                     r=-12d[A]dt=-d[B]dt=d[C]dt=d[D]dt=k[A]p[B]q

                     From observation II and III

                     r3r2=k×(0.3)p×(0.4)qk×(0.3)p×(0.2)q=2.88×10-17.2×10-2

                     2q=4,q=2

                     From observation I and IV

                     r4r1=k×(0.4)p×(0.1)qk×(0.1)p×(0.1)q=2.40×10-26.0×10-3

                     4p=4,p=1

                     r=k[A]1[B]2

                     Order=1+2=3
