The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:
The rate of certain reaction is given by the following rate law:
At a certain concentration of and
, the initial rate of reaction is 4.0 × 10⁴ M/s. What would the initial rate of the reaction be if the concentration of
Answer : The initial rate of the reaction will be,
Explanation :
Rate law expression for the reaction:
As we are given that:
Initial rate = 4.0 × 10⁴ M/s
Expression for rate law for first observation:
....(1)
Expression for rate law for second observation:
....(2)
Dividing 2 by 1, we get:
Therefore, the initial rate of the reaction will be,
