4.11 The following results have been obtained during the kinetic studies of the reaction:
2A + B C + D
Determine the rate law and the rate constant for the reaction.
Let assume the rate of reaction wrt A is and wrt B is . So, the rate of reaction is expressed as-
Rate =
According to given data,
these are the equation 1, 2, 3 and 4 respectively
Now, divide the equation(iv) by (i) we get,
from here we calculate that
Again, divide equation (iii) by (ii)
from here we can calculate the value of y is 2
Thus, the rate law is now,
So,
Hence the rate constant of the reaction is
