4.12 The reaction between A and B is first order with respect to A and zero order with respect to B. For this reaction, fill in the blanks in the following table.
Experiment | [A] mol/L | [B] mol/L | Initial rate mol/L/min |
I | 0.1 | 0.1 | |
II | - | 0.2 | |
III | 0.4 | 0.4 | - |
IV | - | 0.2 |
The given reaction is first order wrt A and zero order in wrt B. So, the rate of reaction can be expressed as;
Rate = k[A]
from exp 1,
k = 0.2 per min.
from experiment 2nd,
[A] =
from experiment 3rd,
from the experiment 4th,
from here [A] = 0.1 mol/L
