<em>Acetic acid, HC2H3O2</em>

First, calculate for the molar mass of acetic acid as shown below.
    M = 1 + 2(12) + 3(1) + 2(16) = 60 g

Then, calculating for the percentages of each element.
<em> Hydrogen:</em>
    P1 = ((4)(1)/60)(100%) = <em>6.67%</em>

<em> Carbon:</em>
   P2 = ((2)(12)/60)(100%) = <em>40%</em>

<em>Oxygen</em>
  P3 =((2)(16) / 60)(100%) = <em>53.33%</em>

<em>Glucose, C6H12O6</em>

The molar mass of glucose is as calculated below,
   6(12) + 12(1) + 6(16) = 180

The percentages of the elements are as follow,
 <em> Hydrogen:</em>
   P1 = (12/180)(100%) = <em>6.67%</em>

<em>Carbon:</em>
  P2 = ((6)(12) / 180)(100%) = <em>40%</em>

<em>Oxygen:</em>
  P3 = ((6)(16) / 180)(100%) = <em>53.33%</em>

b. Since the empirical formula of the given substances are just the same and can be written as CH2O then, the percentages of each element composing them will just be equal.

What is the overall reaction order for this rate law: rate = k[A]2[B][C]?
dybincka [34]

Zero order are reactions in which concentration of reactant has NO effect on RATE OF REACTION.


2. First order are reactions in which concentration of one reactant is proportionate to the RATE OF REACTION.

Exp: That means when you increase the concentration of the one reactant, then the rate of reaction will increase by the same degree of extent.


3. Second order are reactions in which concentration of two reactant has an effect on the RATE OF REACTION.


Formula:

1. Zero order Rate = k

2. First order Rate = k(A)^m

3. Second order Rate = k(A)^m(B)^n


where () represents concentration

and equation is mA + nB -> Product.
