Explanation:
Hi there,
To get started, let's first observe our rate law:
we typically use square brackets [x] for chemistry kinetics, because they specifically tell us we are dealing with <em>concentrations</em>.
This rate law is in fourth-order, because the concentrations powers add up to 4. We are not told the unit of time for this prompt (unless you know it), so I just assumed the time unit to be "time."
To calculate the reaction rate, we simply plug in the concentration of A and B into the rate law. k is the <em>rate constant</em> and stays the same for an individual reaction.
Thus, the rate of reaction with those concentrations is 0.4 M/time.
Notice, the rate constant does in fact have units of it own. The unit for k can be calculated by knowing that:
- Rate (R) must end up with units of concentration (M) per time.
- The concentrations raised to a power can be used to help solve for the units of k.
